Kim Jung-mi (Korean: 김정미; Korean pronunciation: [kim.dʑʌŋ.mi] or [kim] [tɕʌŋ.mi]; born 16 October 1984) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.

Kim joined INI Steel in 2004 and remained at the club for 21 years until her departure in 2025.[1] In 2024, she became the first ever goalkeeper to make 300 WK League appearances.[2]

Having made her international debut at the 2003 AFC Women's Championship, Kim played for South Korea at the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3][4]

Kim participated at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[5][6] At the tournament, she drew attention for her resilience as she continued to play despite an injury to her cheekbone.[7] She was named best goalkeeper at the 2015 EAFF Women's East Asian Cup, where South Korea finished as runners-up.[8]
