In South Korea, the war is usually referred to as the "625 War" ({{Korean|hangul=6·25 전쟁|hanja=六二五戰爭|labels=no}}), the "625 Upheaval" ({{Korean|hangul=6·25 동란|hanja=六二五動亂|rr=yugio dongnan|labels=no}}), or simply "625", reflecting the date of its commencement on 25 June.<ref name="Hoare1999"/>

In North Korea, the war is officially referred to as the ''Fatherland Liberation War'' ({{Transliteration|ko|Choguk haebang chŏnjaeng}}) or the ''[[Names of Korea#Korea|Chosŏn]]'' [Korean] ''War'' ({{Korean|hangul=조선전쟁|mr=Chosŏn chŏnjaeng|context=north|labels=no}}).<ref name="Kim2003"/>

In mainland China, the segment of the war after the intervention of the [[People's Volunteer Army]] is commonly and officially known as the "Great Movement to Resist America and Assist Korea"<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rawnsley |first=Gary D. |date=2009 |title='The Great Movement to Resist America and Assist Korea': How Beijing Sold the Korean War |journal=[[Media, War & Conflict]] |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=285–315 |doi=10.1177/1750635209345186 |s2cid=143193818}}</ref> ({{Lang-zh|t=抗美援朝战争|p=Kàngměi Yuáncháo Zhànzhēng|c=}}), <!---PRC uses traditional Chinese during the war----> although the term "''[[Names of Korea#Chinese-speaking areas|Chosŏn]]'' War" ({{Lang-zh<!-- -->|t=朝鮮戰爭|p= Cháoxiǎn Zhànzhēng}}) is sometimes used unofficially.

In the US, the war was initially described by President [[Harry S. Truman]] as a "[[police action]]" as the US never formally declared war and the operation was conducted under the auspices of the UN.<ref name="Truman1950"/> It has been sometimes referred to in the [[English-speaking world]] as "The Forgotten War" or "The Unknown War" because of the lack of public attention it received relative to World War II and the [[Vietnam War]].<ref name="Naval Historical Center"/>{{Sfn|Halberstam|2007|p= 2}}
