Kim Nam-joo (born April 15, 1995), better known by the mononym Namjoo, is a South Korean singer and actress. She is best known as a member of the South Korean girl group Apink.

Before debuting with Apink, she starred in a 2007 TV commercial at age 13.

Kim joined Cube Entertainment through the 2010 Cube Party auditions and was one of the last Apink members to be introduced before the group's debut. Kim debuted with Apink on Mnet's M! Countdown performing their songs "I Don't Know (몰라요)" and "Wishlist" which were included on their debut EP Seven Springs of Apink on April 21, 2011. She is also one of the two members of Apink's sub-unit PINK BnN along with Yoon Bo-mi.

In September 2015, she was cast in Naver TVCast's 8-episode web drama Investigator Alice, which was released in October 2015, where she portrayed detective Chun Yeon-joo.

In March 2015, Kim joined MBC's Tutoring Across Generations in place of Lee Tae-im, but the show got cancelled on April 2 after episode 21 due to falling ratings. Kim with fellow member Bomi appeared on Sugar Man as PINK BnN on October 20, 2015. In 2016, Kim and Apink co-member Bomi became the new MCs of Shikshin Road 2. In the December 27 broadcast of King of Mask Singer, it was revealed that Kim was behind the mask 'Good Daughter Shim Cheong'.

Kim alongside groupmate Jung Eun-ji and Jang Hyun-seung, former member of Beast, released the single "A Year Ago" from the project A Cube For Season #White on January 3, 2013 to commemorate the success of their respective groups.
