Using published records and original data, a checklist was compiled of the water mite (Acari, Hydrachnidia) fauna of Korea. The total number of species and subspecies recorded from Korea up to date is 74 species, in 32 genera and 13 families. One new subgenus, Orientmomonia, and two new species are described: Albia (Albiella) kseniae and Momonia (Orientmomonia) koreana; the first description of the male is given for Atractides gracilis (Sokolow, 1934). Woolastookia concava Kim & Chung, 1996 is synonymized with W. elongata (Sokolow, 1934). Additionally, first records for Korea are given for Panisopsis orientalis Imamura & Mitchell, 1967, Hydrodroma torrenticola (Walter, 1908), Hygrobates (Hygrobates) longiporus Thor, 1898, and Arrenurus (Truncaturus) sp. near corsicus (E. Angelier, 1951).
