Ri Hyon-ok (Korean: 리현옥; born January 13, 1970 in Pyongyang) is a North Korean sport shooter.[1] She won a bronze medal in skeet shooting at the 2007 Asian Shooting Championships in Kuwait City, Kuwait, and finished seventh at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2]

Ri qualified as the only female athlete for the North Korean shooting squad in the women's skeet at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by having registered a minimum qualifying score of 66 and obtaining a top four finish from the Asian Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3] Ri aggregated a total record of 68 out of 75 targets in the qualifying stage, but fell abruptly in a two-way shoot-off against U.S. shooter Kimberly Rhode by 2 to 1, leaving her in seventh out of twelve prospective shooters.[4]
