Kim Yong-Sik ( Hangeul : 김용식 , Hanja : 金 容 植 ; * July 25, 1910 in Sinchon , Protectorate of Korea (today: North Korea ); † March 8, 1985 in Seoul ) was a South Korean football player and coach who, due to his merits in South Korea is known as the "father of Korean football".

He played professionally from 1933 for Gyeongseong FC (Kyungsung FC) with whom he won the Imperial Cup in 1935 as the only non-Japanese team .

In 1936 Kim Yong-Sik made his debut for the Japanese national soccer team . Kim Yong-Sik made three international appearances. With the Japanese national team, he qualified under the Japanese reading of his name, Kin Yoshoku , for the 1936 Olympic Games as the only Korean.

After graduating from the Boseong Technical School , he began studying at the Japanese Waseda University in 1937 , but dropped out after a semester to work as a journalist for the Korean daily Dong-a Ilbo . With the Boesong All-Stars he reached second place in the All-Japanese Football Championships in 1938. With his participation in the newly founded Pyeongyang FC in 1940, for which he had his last international game, he also turned to training, initially as a player-coach . After the Korean War he was a full-time coach, including in 1954, 1960 and 1969 the South Korean national team.

He was also an official at FIFA and the South Korean Football Association and was Korea's first referee at an international match. Due to his long coaching career, he is known in South Korea as the "father of Korean football". He was posthumously awarded the South Korean Sports Merit Order and was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
