Kimberly Duane Mulkey (born May 17, 1962) is an American college basketball coach and former player. Since 2021, she has been the head coach for Louisiana State University's women's basketball team. A Pan-American gold medalist in 1983 and Olympic gold medalist in 1984, she is the first coach in NCAA basketball history to win national championships as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. Since the inception of the NCAA women's tournament in 1982, Mulkey has participated as a player or coach every year except 1985 and 2003.

As head coach, her teams won NCAA championships at Baylor in 2005, 2012, and 2019; and at LSU in 2023. Mulkey is one of seven coaches to have led teams to more than one championship win, ranking third behind UConn's Geno Auriemma's 12 titles and former Tennessee coach Pat Summitt's 8 wins.

Mulkey was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 and into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020.

In 2007, Mulkey penned her autobiography, titled Won't Back Down: Teams, Dreams and Family.
