The Attorney (Korean: 변호인; RR: Byeonhoin) is a 2013 South Korean legal drama film co-written and directed by Yang Woo-suk.

The film in screenwriting and directorial debut for Woo-suk, 11,375,954 tickets sold and a revenue of ₩82.9 billion, became the 15th-best-selling Korean film of all time and the second-highest-grossing Korean film of 2013.

The film depicts Burim case when 1981 in South Korea under military regime at that time, that during the authoritarian Chun Doo-hwan regime, 22 students, teachers and office workers who belonged to a book club were arrested without warrants on fabricated charges that they were North Korea sympathizers.
