Jeon Ki-young (Korean: 전기영, born 11 July 1973 in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province) is a retired judoka who competed in the ‍–‍78 kg and ‍–‍86 kg divisions.

Jeon has won three consecutive world championships (1993, 1995 & 1997), twice beating the Hidehiko Yoshida in dramatic fashion in the finals.

The crowning moment in Jeon's judo career came in winning the gold medal in the men's middleweight division at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, U.S.[1] He defeated Armen Bagdasarov of Uzbekistan in the final match by ippon.

In his march to the gold, Jeon won every match by ippon, except the 1st round match against the Dutch judoka Mark Huizinga, who would go on to dominate the weight once Jeon himself retired.
