LS (Leading Solutions) Cable Company, Ltd. (Korean: LS전선, 엘에스전선) is a South Korean cable, chemical and engineering company and a manufacturer of electric wire and cable for power distribution which separated from the LG Group in November 2003 to lead an independent brand power. It was established as its own cable company on March 2005 as a part of the newly formed LS Group.

The headquarters is located in Anyang, Korea, with branches and subsidiaries overseas in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and more recently, the United States (LS Cable America, Inc. located in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey). On June 11, 2008 LS Cable announced the purchase of Atlanta based magnet wire and communications cable maker Superior Essex. The transaction, valued at roughly $900 million extends LS Cable's reach into North American and European markets. LS Cable is the largest cable manufacturer in South Korea, and one of the largest globally.
