The Korea–Mexico Friendship Hospital (; ) is a hospital in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. It first opened on July 6, 2005.
It was established as part of commemorations for the 100th anniversary of Koreans arriving in Mexico. Land was provided by the Mexican government for the construction of the hospital. The South Korean government invested around US$1 million for the construction of the hospital. The hospital has since continued to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, as well as equipment from the South Korean government.
It has since become a notable hospital for treating children in the region, and played a significant role in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.
