James Kim (August 9, 1971 – December 4, 2006) was an American television personality and technology analyst for the former TechTV international cable television network, reviewing products for shows including The Screen Savers, Call for Help, and Fresh Gear. At the time of his death he was working as a senior editor of MP3 and digital audio for CNET, where he wrote more than 400 product reviews. He also cohosted a weekly video podcast for CNET's gadget blog, Crave, and a weekly audio podcast, The MP3 Insider (both podcasts were cohosted with Veronica Belmont).
Kim's disappearance, death, and his family's ordeal made them the subject of a brief, but intense period of news coverage in December 2006.
