The Ansan Kim clan ({{Korean|안산 김씨|安山 金氏}}) is a Korean clan that was an aristocratic family from the Goryeo era. They wielded their influence over the country's affairs primarily in the mid-11th century through marriages with the heirs of the kingdom. Three of King Hyeonjong's queens, who reigned from 1009 to 1031, were from this family.{{cite book |last1=Seth |first1=Michael J. |title=A history of Korea: from antiquity to the present |date=2011 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |location=Lanham, Md |isbn=978-0-7425-6715-3 |page=88}} The Gyeongwon Yi clan would eventually put an end to this dominance, as Yi Cha-yŏn managed to marry three of his daughters to King Munjong, who reigned from 1046 to 1083.{{cite book |last1=Seth |first1=Michael J. |title=A history of Korea: from antiquity to the present |date=2011 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |location=Lanham, Md |isbn=978-0-7425-6715-3 |page=89}} The modern-day Ansan Kim clan has a population of 16,990 in South Korea as of the 2015 census.{{cite web|url=https://kostat.go.kr/board.es?mid=a10301100200&bid=203&tag=&act=view&list_no=356061&ref_bid=|title=2015년 인구주택총조사 전수집계결과 보도자료|trans-title=Results of the 2015 Census of Population and Housing survey|publisher=Korean Statistical Information Service|access-date=31 December 2023}} The progenitor of clan is considered to be Kim Kŭng-pil, the father of Kim Ŭn-bu.{{cite web |title=안산김씨 |url=https://www.grandculture.net/ansan/index/GC02500866 |website=Encyclopedia of Korean Local Culture |access-date=31 December 2023 |language=ko}}
