The Office for Government Policy Coordination (Korean: 국무조정실; Hanja: 國務調整室) (OPC) is a government agency of South Korea consisting of the Prime Minister's Office and the Prime Minister's Secretariat. It is led by a ministerial-level minister for government policy coordination unlike the chief of staff to the prime minister, who leads the Secretariat and is a vice minister-grade official. The OPC minister chairs the Vice Ministers' Council (Template:Korean requires ),[1] which supports State Council comprising ministers and led by the President and often prime minister. Moreover, two vice ministers are under the OPC minister.

The OPC was the first government agency to move its headquarters to Sejong in 2012.[2]
It has as affiliates the Tax Tribunal and National Counter-Terrorism Center and oversees many government-funded think tanks mostly based in Sejong including the Korea Development Institute and OECD Korea Policy Center.
Its history can be traced back to 1973 with the opening of the Administrative Coordination Office. In 1998, the office got its present name of the Office for Government Policy Coordination. In 2008, it was merged with the Prime Minister's Secretariat into the Prime Minister's Office. In 2013, it was made separate again and restructured to form the Prime Minister's Office together with the Secretariat.
Several figures were appointed minister of economy and finance after serving as minister for government policy coordination including Kim Jin-pyo, Kim Dong-yeon, Hong Nam-ki, Han Duck-soo and Choo Kyung-ho.
