Kim Rak-hui (Korean: ???, 11 November 1933 – February 2013) was a North Korean politician.
Kim worked in the agricultural and cooperatives section for most of her working life.
During the Korean War, her efforts in rationing caught the attention of Kim Il-sung.
Many time delegate to the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), Kim Rak-hui rose in the ranks of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), becoming a full member of its Central Committee in 1970.
She was appointed to the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea in 2010 and became one of six Vice Premiers of North Korea that year.
She ran a committee to combat epizootic diseases. In 2012, her career started to decline as she was stripped of her Politburo membership and Vice-Premiership.
Initially, it was speculated that she was caught up in personnel changes to consolidate the rule of Kim Jong-un.
After it was announced that Kim Rak-hui had died in February 2013, the decline of her career was attributed to ill-health instead.
Through her career, Kim was awarded Hero of Labor, Order of Kim Il-sung, Order of Kim Jong-il, and Order of the National Flag (first class).
