The Game Rating Board (GRB) is a video game rating board that rates video game content in South Korea.

The board is a government organization that was founded in 2006 after an incident with the former South Korean rating board, the Korea Media Rating Board (KMRB); the KMRB was bribed to rate the gambling game Sea Story as if it were a game suitable for everyone. The South Korean government then formed the Game Rating Board.
