Kim Jong Yang (Korean: 김종양; Hanja: 金鍾陽; born 30 October 1961) is a South Korean politician and police officer who was the 29th president of Interpol from 2018 to 2021.

Prior to his Interpol career, Kim was Commissioner of Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency,[1] the law enforcement agency for South Korea's most populous province.[2] As a police chief, Kim took part in efforts to spread South Korean policing strategies to other nations, including the Philippines, through financial assistance and training programs.[3]

In 2015 Kim was elected as Interpol's vice-president for Asia.[4][5]

Following the arrest and detainment of Interpol President Meng Hongwei in China, Kim took on the role of Acting President.[6]

Although Interpol Vice-President and Russian interior ministry official Alexander Prokopchuk had been widely tipped to be Meng's successor, at a meeting in Dubai on 18–21 November 2018 Kim was elected to serve the remaining two years of Meng's term.[7][5] Prokopchuk's candidacy had been opposed by Western nations, which had objected to the Russian government's abuses of Interpol red notices to target dissidents and political opponents.[2]
