Kim Ja-jeom (Korean: 김자점; 1588 – 27 January 1652) was a Korean scholar-official of the Joseon dynasty period and Ming-Qing transition. He was one of the disciples of Seong Hon and came from the Andong Kim clan.

He was Joseon's chief state councillor from 1645 to 1650,[_citation needed_] and was an ancestor of Kim Ku, a famous Korean independence activist.[1]

In 1646, threatened by the return of Im Gyeong-eop to the capital, Kim Ja-jeom paid soldiers to assassinate Im Gyeong-eop.
