Kim Yunmi (Korean: 김윤미; Hanja: 金潤美; born December 1, 1980, in Seoul) is a South Korean short track speed skater, who won gold medals in the 3000 m relay at the 1994 and 1998 Winter Olympics.

Kim won her first Olympic gold medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer at the age of 13 years and 85 days, making her the youngest-ever Olympic gold medallist and breaking a record previously held by Marjorie Gestring.[1] Due to this, the ISU later set the minimum age limit to be 15-years-old.[2]

Since 2004 she has lived in Maryland, United States where she teaches speed skating.[3]
