Kim Yong-Ik (born May 17, 1947 ) is a former North Korean judoka . He won an Olympic bronze medal in his only international tournament participation.
At the 1972 Olympics in Munich only a North Korean judoka participated. The 1.70 m tall Kim Yong-ik started in the lightweight, the weight class up to 63 kilograms. In his first fight he was defeated by the French Jean-Jacques Mounier . But since he won the pool final, the judokas who had lost to him fought against each other in the consolation round. Kim successively defeated the British Edward Mullen , the Hungarian Ferenc Szabó and the Cuban Héctor Rodríguez and thus reached the semi-finals. There Kim lost to the later Japanese Olympic champion Takao Kawaguchi and received a bronze medal.
