Song Deok-gi (Korean: 송덕기; Hanja: 宋德基); (19 January 1893 – 23 July 1987) was a martial artist from Korea. One of the last practitioners of the ancient martial art of Taekkyon, he helped convey the art during the Japanese Occupation of Korea (1910–1945) and the Korean War (1950–1953). Based on his efforts, the South Korean government acknowledged Taekkyon as the 76th Important Intangible Cultural Properties of Korea and recognized him as a Human Cultural Asset (Ingan-munhwage). He used Hyeonam (현암; 玄庵) as a pen name.
