Derek King (born 7 September 1948) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the late 1960s.
King came into the St Kilda senior side after making his way up from the thirds but couldn't establish himself in the VFL.
A rover, he played briefly in Western Australia with Swan Districts before joining Oakleigh in the Victorian Football Association. He played his best football at Oakleigh and won the first division's J. J. Liston Trophy in 1975 as well as the second division's J. Field Trophy two years later.
His son, Clinton King, was an AFL player at three separate clubs.
