Ji Dong-Won (Hangul지동원, Korean pronunciation: [tɕi.doŋ.wʌn] or [tɕi] [toŋ.wʌn];; born 28 May 1991) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a winger for German club FC Augsburg and the South Korea national team.

In June 2011, Ji agreed a deal to join Sunderland of the English Premier League as a summer transfer after impressing manager Steve Bruce with his performance in the 2011 Asian Cup, in which he scored four goals and provided two assists in six games. He signed a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee (believed to be around £2 million). He made his first appearance for his new club in a 1–1 draw with Arminia Bielefeld in the club's pre-season tour of Germany. He scored his first goal for Sunderland in a pre-season friendly against Darlington. Ji made his league debut for Sunderland on 13 August 2011 coming on for Asamoah Gyan in the 66th minute against Liverpool. Ji scored his first Premier League goal in the 90th minute against Chelsea from a Nicklas Bendtner assist on 10 September 2011, to which Sunderland lost 2–1.

On 1 January 2013, Ji signed for German club FC Augsburg on loan for the rest of the season, where his national teammate midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol was also on loan. On 24 February 2013, he scored his debut goal for Augsburg in a game against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. On 14 April, Ji scored two goals against Eintracht Frankfurt, single-handedly clinching a 2–0 victory for his side.
