Kim Jip (金集, 1574–1656) was a Joseon ritual scholar and official whose pen name was Sindokjae and courtesy name Sagang, of the Gwangsan Kim clan. Born in Hanseong, he was the son of the great ritual scholar Sagye Kim Jang-saeng and carried on his father's scholarship to bring Joseon ritual studies to its culmination. After his father retired to their hometown of Yeonsan (present-day Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province) in 1596, he studied under him there, and after Kim Jang-saeng's death, scholars including Song Si-yeol, Song Jun-gil, and Yun Seon-geo completed their studies under Kim Jip in turn, carrying forward the Giho school of ritual studies.
He served as Inspector-General and Minister of Personnel, and under King Hyojong he joined Kim Sang-heon and others in pursuing the campaign to conquer the north. Renowned for his scholarship and virtuous conduct, he was enshrined, together with his father Kim Jang-saeng, in the Confucian shrine (Munmyo) and also in the shrine of King Hyojong, thereby being honored in the royal ancestral shrine (Jongmyo) as well. He was the founding ancestor of the Mun-gyeonggong branch of the Gwangsan Kim clan.
He is the founder of the Mungyeonggong branch of the Gwangsan Kim clan.
