Kang Sung-hoon (born 4 June 1987) is a South Korean professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Kang turned professional in 2007 and joined the Korean Tour in his home country. He first gained international prominence in 2009 when he finished runner-up at the Ballantine's Championship, a tournament co-sanction by the Korean Tour and the European Tour. The following year, Kang won for the first time on the Korean Tour, at the Eugene Open, and ended the season by qualifying for the PGA Tour via qualifying school.

In May 2011, Kang lost a playoff for the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide Tour. The following month, he qualified for the U. S. Open, his first major, and finished in a tie for 39th. Kang retained his PGA Tour card for 2012 with a T3 at the Children's Miracle Network Classic to finish 120th on the money list.

At the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Kang shot a course record 60 during the second round at the Monterrey Peninsula course. This took him into a share of the lead moving into the weekend.
