Kim Ou-joon (Korean: 김어준; born December 4, 1968) is a South Korean journalist. He is well known for the host of a political podcast. He was the original creator of Naneun Ggomsuda and currently runs Ddanzi Ilbo's DAS Boeida and Traffic Broadcasting System's News Factory.

After the December 2024 South Korean martial law political crisis, National Intelligence Service (NIS) Deputy Director Hong Jang-won testified to the National Assembly that president Yoon Suk Yeol ordered him to arrest Kim and other political opponents. After the declaration, Kim immediately fled to a remote location for 36 hours, fearing for his life. Kim later testified to the Assembly that he received a report claiming the Yoon administration planned to assassinate People Power Party (PPP) leader Han Dong-hoon and lay the blame on North Korea, though he could not fully confirm its veracity.

In response, PPP said they will pursue legal action for defamation and to identify the reporter.
