The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic resin composition and a molded article including the same. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic resin composition including 100 parts by weight of a styrene-based resin and 1 to 10 parts by weight of a surface modifier and having a skewness (Rsk) of 0.65 to 1.35 and a molded article including the thermoplastic resin composition. In addition, the present disclosure provides a thermoplastic resin composition that is capable of imparting a rough feeling to the surface of a product and has excellent weather resistance while maintaining mechanical properties and processability equal or superior to those of conventional ASA resins; and a molded article including the thermoplastic resin composition. In particular, due to these properties of the thermoplastic resin composition, a product manufactured using the thermoplastic resin composition may have a luxurious appearance without an artificial plastic feel.
