Art Kim was an American basketball executive.

Kim was a Chinese-American who was a college basketball player, AAU administrator, and team owner.

Kim was involved with the Washington Generals and owned the Hawaii Chiefs and Long Beach Chiefs of the American Basketball League before becoming the owner of the Anaheim Amigos of the American Basketball Association. In the Amigos' first season in the new ABA Kim had the team open the season with a six-game, 13 day road trip, because ABA teams at the time shared gate receipts and Kim wanted to play in as many teams' first home games as possible. During that first season, Kim fired head coach Al Brightman after a 13-24 start, promoting him to public relations director and replacing him with Harry Dinnel.
