Kim Mi-ok (born 1 October 1978) is a South Korean former professional tennis player.

Tennis career

A right-handed player, Kim was a gold medalist for South Korea at the 2002 Asian Games, partnering Choi Young-ja in the women's doubles. The pair, who were unseeded, won the gold medal with a win in the final over the tournament's top seeds, Indonesians Wynne Prakusya and Angelique Widjaja.

Between 2002 and 2006, she represented South Korea in a total of nine ties. Her only singles win came against Hong Kong's Kristin Godridge and she won five doubles rubbers.

Kim has featured mostly in ITF level events during her professional career, with three singles and thirteen doubles titles to her name. She made a WTA Tour main-draw appearance in the doubles at the Korea Open in 2005, reaching the quarter-finals. They defeated Marion Bartoli and Tamarine Tanasugarn in the first round.

Initially retiring in 2006, Kim has played in the occasional ITF tournament in her home country since 2016 and won two $25k doubles titles in 2018.
