Yamada Kimio (山田 規三生, born 9 September 1972) is a Japanese 9-dan professional.

Yamada won the Oza title in 1997. He reached the final of the 5th Samsung Cup in 2000, but lost to Yu Ch'ang-hyeok. In 2006 he became the first player to earn promotion to 9-dan through two hundred cumulative wins as an 8-dan, in the Nihon Ki-in new promotion system. His two elder brothers Yamada Wakio and Yamada Shiho are also professional Go players.
