Hong Deok-young (Hangul: 홍덕영, Hanja: 洪德永; 5 May 1926 – 13 September 2005) was a South Korean football manager, referee and former football player. He was one of the first South Koreans to be capped for their country at international level. He was the goalkeeper of the South Korea national team who appeared at the 1948 Summer Olympics, 1954 FIFA World Cup and 1954 Asian Games. After retiring, he was an international football referee from 1957 to 1967. In later life, Hong went blind due to complication of diabetes mellitus, which already had an impact on his eyesight during his professional years, requiring him to wear glasses on the pitch. He died on 13 September 2005.
