Song Hyeong-keun (born 16 September 1974) is a South Korean former professional tennis player.[1]

An Australian Open junior semi-finalist, Song had a best career singles ranking of 330 in the world and made his only ATP Tour main draw appearance at the 1992 Seoul Open.[2]

Song was a men's team gold medalist at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok.

In 1999 he represented the South Korea Davis Cup team in a tie against New Zealand in Christchurch and played in two singles rubbers. This included the deciding fifth rubber, which he lost in four sets to Mark Nielsen.
