Nam Ki-young (born July 10, 1962) is a former South Korean footballer who played as a defender.
Nam spent his entire career for the POSCO Atoms, now the Pohang Steelers, and represented South Korea at the 1988 Summer Olympics on home soil. In 1987, he collided with Daewoo Royals striker Lee Tae-ho and injured his right eye. Lee eventually lost all vision in said eye and became the first visually-impaired player at a FIFA World Cup. Coincidentally, both Nam and Lee were on the 1988 Olympics squad.
Since 1997, Nam has been the head coach of the Cheongjudaesung High School football team.
