• We report the identification of novel highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N6, clade 2.3.4.4, that presumably originated from China. In addition, reassortant strains with Eurasian lineage low pathogenic avian influenza viruses were isolated in wild birds and poultry in South Korea. The emergence of these novel H5N6 viruses and their circulation among bird populations are of great concern because of the potential for virus dissemination with intercontinental wild bird migration. •Novel highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N6 were detected in South Korea in 2016.•The Korean H5N6 viruses seem to be likely originated from H5N6 viruses circulating in Guangdong province of China.•Their reassortants with Eurasian lineage low pathogenic avian influenza viruses were isolated in wild birds and poultry.
