Kim Min-jae (Korean: 김민재; born 13 October 1983) is a South Korean weightlifter. He competed for South Korea at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Kim originally finished eighth in the 2012 London Olympics, but retesting of samples of athletes from the 2012 Olympics discovered that six of the top seven athletes were disqualified when found to be positive for the presence of performance-enhancing drugs. Therefore Kim became the silver medallist in the 94 kg weightlifting category.
