Kim Mi-gyong (Template:Lang-ko; born 17 October 1991 in South Hwanghae Province) is a North Korean long-distance runner.[1] She competed in the marathon at the 2012 Summer Olympics, placing 74th with a time of 2:38:33.[2]

At the age of fifteen she represented her country at the 2007 Asian Athletics Championships and secured a bronze medal double in the 5000 metres and 10,000 metres events.[3][4] Her next international outings came in 2009 when she placed sixth in the half marathon at the Summer Universiade and fifth in the same event at the East Asian Games.[5]

Kim made her debut in the marathon in 2011, running at the Macau Marathon and finishing tenth with a time of 2:38:36 hours. Her run at the 2012 Pyongyang Marathon brought her up to the elite standard, as she won the race with a personal best of 2:30:41 hours.[6] This run earned her a place on the North Korean team for the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she placed 74th overall in the women's Olympic marathon.[1] A return to Pyongyang in 2013 saw her rise to the top of the national team with a second win at the race with a time of 2:26:32, ranking her third on the North Korean all-time lists.[7]
