Kim Sun-yong Jr. (born 26 May 1987) is a South Korean former professional tennis player.

Kim, who was born in Seoul, won the junior doubles title at the 2005 Australian Open, partnering Taiwan's Yi Chu-huan. He was runner-up in the boys' singles event to Donald Young and was also a singles semi-finalist at the 2005 US Open juniors.[1]

A right-handed player, Kim featured in three Davis Cup ties for South Korea. In 2005 he won both of his singles matches against Pacific Oceania, then played a dead rubber in the Group II final against New Zealand, which he lost to Jose Statham.[2] His only other appearance came in 2007, when he won in the singles against Dmitriy Makeyev of Kazakhstan.
