Kim Bùi (born 20 January 1989) is a German artistic gymnast.
Bui's father is from Laos and her mother is Vietnamese. Injuries kept Bui out of competition for a long time. She was named an alternate to the German team for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In 2009, she competed at the American Cup, winning the bronze medal in the All-Around competition behind Jordyn Wieber and Bridget Sloan of the USA. She tore her ACL in 2010 and took six months off to recover.
In April, she competed at the European Championships in Berlin, Germany. She performed only on the uneven bars and qualified in 5th position to the event final with a score of 14.450. She improved her score to 14.675 to win the bronze medal in the final behind Elizabeth Tweddle of Great Britain and Tatiana Nabieva of Russia.
Bui competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics and finished in ninth place with the German team. She failed to reach finals in her three individual events, qualifying in 19th place on uneven bars, 56th place on beam, and 37th place on floor.
In November, she teamed up with Marcel Nguyen to compete at the Swiss Cup in Zürich. They won the bronze medal behind Elisabeth Seitz and Fabian Hambüchen of Germany and Giulia Steingruber and Claudio Capelli of Switzerland. In December she competed at the Stuttgart World Cup, placing fourth in the all-around competition, fifth on floor, and fifth on vault. She won silver medals on the beam and uneven bars exercises, tying with her compatriot Elisabeth Seitz for the latter. A week later, she competed at the Glasgow World Cup event in Scotland, winning a bronze medal in the all-around competition, a bronze medal on uneven bars, bronze on the floor exercise, and placing 5th and 6th on beam and vault respectively.
