Girim of Silla (r. 298-310, d. 310), whose name is sometimes given as Girip and also as Gigu, was the fifteenth king of Silla. The Samguk Sagi records that he was either the grandson or great-grandson of King Jobun.

In 308, he gave the country the name "Silla." It had previously been known as Saro-guk or Seorabeol.
