Ki-Young Chung (Hangul: 정기영; born November 23, 1959 in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea) is a former professional boxer. During his career, which lasted from 1979 to 1986, Chung won the IBF world featherweight title. Before competing at featherweight, Chung won the Korean super bantamweight title in 1982.
