Kim Chong-jik (Korean: 김종직; Hanja: 金宗直; June 1431 – August 19, 1492), often known by his art name Chŏmp'ilchae (점필재), was a leading Korean Neo-Confucian scholar in the early Joseon dynasty.

He was born in Miryang in Gyeongsang Province, to a yangban family of the Seonsan Kim clan.

After passing the examination, Kim entered government service, holding a wide range of positions.

He earned the special favor of King Seongjong, as well as the enmity of the Hungu (Loyal Retainers) faction.

After his death, Kim Chong-jik's writings became the basis for the First literati purge of 1498 under the rule of Yeonsangun.
