Na Moon-hee (born Na Kyung-ja on November 30, 1941) is a South Korean actress. Since 1961, Na has had a prolific acting career in television and film spanning more than five decades.

Her critically acclaimed film I Can Speak (2017) won her the Best Actress trophy in three prestigious award ceremonies: 54th Baeksang Arts Awards, 38th Blue Dragon Awards and 55th Grand Bell Awards — a feat that has yet to be repeated.[6]
After a series of comic roles in sitcoms such as Unstoppable High Kick!,[7] the veteran actress garnered newfound popularity and played the title character in big screen comedy Mission Possible: Kidnapping Granny K,[8] followed by starring roles in Girl Scout,[9] Harmony,[10][11] Twilight Gangsters,[12] and Miss Granny.[13]
She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from MBC in 2010, and the prestigious Bo-gwan Order of Cultural Merit in 2012.[14][15][16]
