A mobile communication terminal including a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader includes a base band unit for controlling communications, a Radio Frequency (RF) unit for transceiving a signal representing voice and data communications with an external mobile communication terminal, and an RFID unit for transceiving an RFID signal with a RFID transponder in a high frequency band through the RF unit. An RFID RF block may shares components with the RF unit including an antenna, an antenna switch module and a high output amplifier unit to reduce circuit area consumption. The RFID signal may be transceived over a UHF band to increase an operating range of the RFID.
