Kim Dong-jin (born 29 January 1982 in Dongducheon) is a South Korean footballer who currently plays for Hong Kong Premier League side Kitchee SC as left back. He can also play as a centre back.

Kim played for FC Seoul (formerly Anyang LG Cheetahs), where he made his professional debut in 2000, and he made 119 K League Classic League appearances and 20 League Cup appearances.

On 28 June 2006, he transferred to Zenit Saint Petersburg, following coach Dick Advocaat and Korean teammate Lee Ho. In Zenit, both his performance and reputation grew steadily, making him the key side defender in the starting lineup. He helped Zenit to achieve their first Russian Premier League title and most reputably the UEFA Cup. His outstanding improvement in his club and national team brought his reputation as the best left-back in the current Korean squad. On 26 January 2010 Zenit Saint Petersburg terminated his contract based on results of the medical examinations and fainting spells experienced during practices with the national team.

On 2 February 2010, he moved to K-League side Ulsan Hyundai after another medical check-up that found he was healthy enough to play.

On 24 January 2011, he moved to K-League side FC Seoul.

He was a left midfielder of the South Korean 2004 Olympic football team, and helped Korea finish second in Group A by scoring one goal (against Greece) and two assists (both against Mali), consequently advancing to the next round. However, they were stopped by the silver medalist Paraguay.
