Kim Chan-yong (born 18th May 1974, Ulsan, South Korea) is a South Korean former footballer who is currently the manager of Hendrikstad FC in Brunant.

Kim Chan-yong began his footballing career at Ulsan Hyundai FC in early 1993. He developed as a player quite quickly, and was sighted by a scout from Brunanter club Hendrikstad FC in early 1995; the club bought him in the summer of that year. At Hendrikstad FC, he soon became the main striker, and a proficient goalscorer, noted for his finishing ability, pace, and skills at penalties and free kicks. In 1998 he was also made the squad captain. In mid-2000 Kim Chan-yong was bought for an undisclosed (believed to be high) price by Sporting Markstad, where he also performed well and was the captain. However, Sporting Markstad suffered some financial problems and were forced to sell him; he was sold to FC Donderar in the summer of 2001. He returned to Hendrikstad FC in mid-2003 after a deal with Arabian FC fell through; at Hendrikstad Kim Chan-yong would continue to be a major player and a proficient goalscorer until he retired from playing football in the summer of 2011, at age 37.

For the 2011-12 season, Kim Chan-yong was appointed as a youth scout by Hendrikstad FC. When manager Aristide Koné left for FC Pieter II, Kim Chan-yong was appointed as manager. In this position, Kim Chan-yong has also been successful, winning the club promotion to the Second League at the end of the 2014-15 season.
