Gim Myeong-hui (1788–1857), also known as Kim Myeong-hui, was a calligrapher of the late Joseon Dynasty. He was born into a yangban family of the Gyeongju Gim lineage, the son of Gim No-gyeong. He passed the jinsa literary examination in 1810, and entered government service. However, he never rose above the rank of hyeon magistrate. Accompanying his father on a mission to the Qing Dynasty court in 1822, he struck up correspondences with leading Chinese calligraphers of the time, including Liu Xihai (:zh:劉喜海).Lee (1983), p. 234.
Gim's elder brother Gim Jeong-hui was also known for his calligraphy.Lee (1993), p. 124.
