Jim King is a retired NBA player and former college coach.

A 6'2" guard from the University of Tulsa, King was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 1963 NBA draft. King played 10 NBA seasons (1963–1973) with four teams: the Lakers, the San Francisco Warriors, the Cincinnati Royals, and the Chicago Bulls. He represented the Warriors in the 1968 NBA All-Star Game, and he retired with 4,377 career points.

King later coached the Tulsa Golden Hurricane from 1975 to midway through the 1979–1980 season, when he resigned after 4 & 1⁄2 seasons. The school retired his jersey number 24, and in 1984, he was inducted into the University of Tulsa Hall of Fame.
