Murun Altankhuyag (Mongolian: Алтанхуягийн Мөрөн, Altankhuyagiin Mörön; born 21 September 1989) is a Mongolian international footballer who plays for Ulaanbaatar City of the Mongolian Premier League as a striker.
Born in Ulan Bator, Murun began playing soccer at age 12. He played for Mongolian Premier League clubs Selenge Press and Ulaanbaatar University from 2006–2008 and 2008–2009, respectively. He then played college soccer in the United States for the Hannibal-LaGrange University Trojans and the Central Methodist Eagles, both of the NAIA. In his one season at Hannibal-LaGrange, he tallied 1 goal and 2 assists in 11 matches. He scored his goal against the Truman Bulldogs on 3 November 2009. During his three seasons at CMU, he made 37 appearances and tallied 18 goals and 6 assists. He initially received an invitation to Hannibal-LaGrange after vying for a scholarship against 120 other candidates from Europe and Latin America.
He signed a two-year contract with Krabi F.C. of the Thai Division 1 League in December 2013, becoming Mongolia's first ever professional footballer and first footballer to play abroad. He made his debut for the club on 9 April 2014 in a Cup match against Khonkaen F.C., the club's rivals. Despite Murun scoring a goal in the match, Krabi was eliminated by the eventual 1–2 defeat. Between the opening match of the season in February and mid May, he made only two appearances for the club. He moved on loan to Satun United in May 2014 to secure more playing time and was Regional League South Division runner-up that season. He played his first match for Satun United on 10 May 2014 in a Cup match. He trained with Suphanburi FC of the Thai Premier League to become acclimated to the weather of Thailand before joining Krabi. Also prior to joining Krabi, he initially trialed with Rangsit F.C., also in Thailand, and Lao Toyota F.C. of the Lao Premier League. He was offered a professional contract by Lao Toyota but opted to join Krabi because of a preference to play in Thailand over Laos.
