A Flower Bookmark (Hangul꽃갈피; RRKkotgalpi) is the first cover extended play by South Korean singer, songwriter, and actress IU. It is also her sixth Korean-language mini-album. The EP was released on May 16, 2014, the singer's birthday, by LOEN Entertainment under its imprint LOEN Tree. Unlike her previous works, A Flower Bookmark features cover versions of nostalgic K-pop songs popularized from 1980s to 1990s.

The EP was successful both commercially and critically. It spawned two hit singles; the lead single "My Old Story" and "The Meaning of You". The former topped Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100, while the latter was ranked at the top of Gallup Korea's "Song of the Year" in 2014. In particular, the latter has gone to sell more than two million digital copies since release, even outselling the album's lead track. The EP also earned IU a MelOn Music Award for Artist of the Year, and a nomination for Album of the Year.

Billboard magazine listed the album at number three on its list of "Best K-Pop Albums of 2014".

A limited LP edition, featuring a bonus track "Eoheoya Dunggidunggi", was available for sale. As of April 2017, the album has sold over 50,000 physical copies and five million digital singles in the singer's native country (see Charts).
