Kim Hyang-mi (born 19 September 1979) is a North Korean Olympic table tennis player.

She was able to compete in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens through the wildcard system, and surprised spectators by winning a silver medal in the women's singles, after being defeated in the final by China's Zhang Yining.[1][2][3] Kim later married a University student, and thus retired.[4]
