Abeliophyllum distichum, Korean abeliophyllum, Korean abelialeaf, white forsythia (Scientific name: Abeliophyllum distichum) is a deciduous broad-leafed shrub in the family Oleaceae, native to the Korean Peninsula.

The flowers have a four-deep fissure and the tips of the lobes have two shallow lobes and close. The flowers are followed by a capsule with a flat shape. The Japanese name comes from the large wings around the fruit, resembling a fan.
