The North/South Language Body (in Irish, An Foras Teanga; in Ulster Scots, Tha Boord o Leid or The North-South Langage Curn) is an implementation body, provided for by the Belfast Agreement, that exists to implement policies agreed by Ministers in the North/South Ministerial Council (NSMC) in Ireland with regard to the Irish and Ulster-Scots (or "Ullans") languages.

It is a single body reporting to the NSMC, but composed of two separate and largely autonomous agencies: Foras na Gaeilge, the Irish language agency, and Tha Boord o Ulstèr-Scotch, the Ulster-Scots Agency.
