Kim Dae-eun (born September 17, 1984) is a South Korean gymnast.

Kim attended the Korea National Sport University. He won the silver medal in the men's artistic individual all-around at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and his loss to American Paul Hamm by a 0.012 margin was the closest in men's Olympic all-around history, though tied by Tatiana Gutsu's win over Shannon Miller in 1992. At the 2006 Asian Games, Kim tied with Yang Wei of China for the gold medal on parallel bars and was part of the South Korean team that won the bronze medal in the team event. Kim tied with Mitja Petkovšek from Slovenia for the gold medal on the parallel bars at the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
