Kyung-mi (경미) is a Korean feminine given name composed of Sino-Korean elements; its meaning depends on the hanja chosen. Commonly, Kyung may be written as 敬 "respect," 慶 "celebrate," 景 "scenery," or 京 "capital," while Mi is most often 美 "beauty." These combinations yield readings such as "respected beauty," "celebrated beauty," or "scenic beauty." Parents select specific characters from the government-approved hanja list, so personal meanings vary, though the aesthetic, virtuous sense of 美 has made the name especially favored.

The name saw strong use for girls from the 1960s through the 1980s, fitting a trend for -mi endings, and remains widely recognizable in South Korea. Variant romanizations include Gyeong-mi (Revised Romanization), Kyŏng-mi (McCune–Reischauer), Kyong-mi and Kyoung-mi; the hyphen is often dropped (Kyungmi/Gyeongmi). Informal shortenings like Gyeong or Mi also appear, but Kyung-mi is typically retained in full in formal contexts.
