Minhyong Kim (Korean: 김민형) is a South Korean mathematician who specialises in arithmetic geometry and anabelian geometry.

Kim received his PhD at Yale University in 1990 under the supervision of Serge Lang and Barry Mazur, going on to work in a number of universities, including M.I.T., Columbia, Arizona, Purdue, the Korea Institute for Advanced Study, UCL (University College London), the University of Oxford, where he was Head of the Number Theory Research Group, and the University of Warwick, where he was the Christopher Zeeman Professor of Algebra, Geometry, and the Public Understanding of Mathematics.

He is currently the Director of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences and Sir Edmund Whittaker Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the Maxwell Institute, the joint graduate school of the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University.

Kim has made contributions to the application of arithmetic homotopy theory to the study of Diophantine problems, especially to finiteness theorems of the Faltings–Siegel type.
