Geomryun Kim (died 17 July 579), whose name as king was Jinji, was the twenty-fifth monarch of the ancient Korean kingdom of Silla. His wife was Lady Jido of the Park clan.

In fact, Geomryun (as second royal prince) was an usurper of the throne, reigning from August of 576 to July of 579 as King Jinji. He was overthrown by Lady Mishil, a high ranking official. The true chosen successor of King Jinheung was his grandson, Prince Baekjong (son of the first royal prince Dongryun), who became King Jinpyeong of Silla.

Jinji's son, Kim Yongsu, married Jingpyeong's daughter, Princess Cheonmyeong. Their eldest son (Jinji's grandson), Kim Chunchu, would eventually become King Muyeol of Silla.
