Nam Ki-young (born July 10, 1962) is a former South Korean footballer who played as a defender.
Nam spent his entire career for the POSCO Atoms, now the Pohang Steelers, and represented South Korea at the 1988 Summer Olympics on home soil. In 1987, he collided with Daewoo Royals striker Lee Tae-ho and injured his right eye. Lee eventually lost all vision in said eye and became the first visually-impaired player at a FIFA World Cup. Coincidentally, both Nam and Lee were on the 1988 Olympics squad, yet the former never played.
After retiring, Nam worked as a referee until 1997, where he returned to coach the football team of his alma mater, Cheongjudaesung High School, until 2024.남기영 청주 대성고 축구부 감독 “바른 인성이 가장 중요 성실해야 살아남는 법”20년 청주대성고 지휘 남기영 감독의 꿈
