Moon Mi-ra (Korean: 문미라; born 28 February 1992)[1] is a South Korean footballer who plays as a forward for Gyeongju KHNP and the South Korea national team.
Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels selected Moon as their first choice draftee at the 2012 WK League draft, signing her on a three-year contract.[2] She joined Icheon Daekyo in 2015 and became the first player in the WK League to score ten goals in one season.[3] Following Icheon's disbandment in 2017, Moon signed with Suwon FMC, where she became known for her goal scoring ability, scoring ten or more goals in every season except 2020.[3] She was the league's top goal scorer in 2022 and 2023. In July 2024, she scored twice in an away match against Seoul City, becoming the first player in history to have scored 100 goals in the WK League.[4] As captain of Suwon FC Women, she led her team to their first league title since 2010 and was named as MVP in the second leg of the 2024 championship final.[5] In January 2025, Gyeongju KHNP announced that they had signed Moon for the forthcoming season.[6]
