Kim Jong Min (김종민) (born September 24, 1979) is a South Korean singer and entertainer. Kim Jong Min attended Dobong Information and Industrial High School and Mokwon University, Department of German Language and Literature. He is the male lead singer of the popular group Koyote. In 2000, Kim Jong Min replaced Cha Seung Min who returned to the United States for studies.

Kim Jong Min has been notable for being a popular mainstay of many Korean variety shows (such as KBS's Heroine 6 and Choi Hong Man Strong Friends and formerly SBS's Real Romance Love Letter), as he has become a goofy, naïve "character" known for silly comments and actions. He was also an assistant soccer coach on KBS's FC Shoot Dori. Kim Jong Min has also made appearances as a guest on MBC's King Saturday Driving School and Happy Shares Company, SBS's Love Choice (Selection Couple), X-Man, and Ya Shim Man Man, and KBS's Star Golden Bell and Happy Together Friends. On the other hand, Kim Jong Min has yet to debut in the movie industry. There have been some rumors and speculations in tabloids that he may have a part in an upcoming movie named Sex is Zero 2. However, there is no evidence currently to back the claims. He himself has never mentioned it personally and the supposed movie has never been announced.

Kim Jong Min has won many awards, the most recent of which was the Best Entertainer Award from KBS in 2006.
