We identify near-infrared K s-band counterparts to Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) submillimetre (submm) sources, using a preliminary object catalogue from the VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy (VIKING) survey. The submm sources are selected from the H-ATLAS Phase 1 catalogue of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly 9-h field, which includes all objects detected at 250, 350 or with the instrument. We apply and discuss a likelihood ratio method for VIKING candidates within a search radius of 10 arcsec of the 22 000 SPIRE sources with a 5σ detection at. We estimate the fraction of SPIRE sources with a counterpart above the magnitude limit of the VIKING survey to be Q 0≈ 0.73. We find that 11 294 (51 per cent) of the SPIRE sources have a best VIKING counterpart with a reliability R≥ 0.8, and the false identification rate of these is estimated to be 4.2 per cent. We expect to miss∼ 5 per cent of true VIKING counterparts. There is evidence from Z− J and J− K s colours that the reliable counterparts to SPIRE galaxies are marginally redder than the field population. We obtain photometric redshifts for∼ 68 per cent of all (non-stellar) VIKING candidates with a median redshift of. We have spectroscopic redshifts for 3147 (∼ 28 per cent) of the reliable counterparts from existing redshift surveys. Comparing to the results of the optical identifications supplied with the Phase 1 catalogue, we find that the use of medium-deep near-infrared data improves the identification rate of reliable counterparts from 36 to 51 per cent.
