Kim Hye-gyong (Korean: 김혜경; Korean pronunciation: [kim.ɦe.ɡjʌŋ] or [kim] [he.ɡjʌŋ]; born 9 March 1993) is a North Korean long-distance runner.^[2]

Marathoner Kim Hye-song is her sister. They are fraternal twins. Hye-gyong is the younger.^[1] Their mutual coach, Jong Myong-chol, describes their healthy rivalry in races and friendship as the key to their success. According to Jong, Hye-gyong has a livelier personality of the twins and trains harder.^[3] Together they train five times a week, running 25–30 km (16–19 mi) a day.^[3]

The sisters Kim, along with Kim Mi-gyong (no relation) are considered the most prominent of North Korean female marathoners today.^[4] Kim Hye-gyong represents the Pyongyang Sports Team.^[5] She has a brother, a marathoner representing the April 25 Sports Team.^[6]
