Wrong Way Risk denotes the circumstances (Risk Type), usually in the context of a Derivative contract where there is a significant positive dependency between the Counterparty’s Default and the mark-to-market value of the contract.

Given the default of the counterparty, the Replacement Cost is more substantial than otherwise expected.
