Eom Ji-sung (Korean엄지성; born 9 May 2002) is a South Korean footballer currently playing as a winger for EFL Championship club Swansea City and the South Korea national team.

In 2021, Eom joined the senior team of K League 1 club Gwangju FC. He experienced relegation in his first professional season, but helped Gwangju win the K League 2 the next year. After his contribution to the club's promotion was acknowledged, he was selected for the league's Best XI as well as the Young Player of the Year Award.

On 15 July 2024, Eom signed for EFL Championship club Swansea City on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £1 million by local media. On 8 March 2025, he scored his first goal for the club against Middlesbrough. After his first season at Swansea City, he confessed his performances during the season did not satisfy himself and he had difficulty adapting to a large gap between the level of EFL Championship and K League. But he said he gradually felt his improvement and was finally motivated in Great Britain.

In January 2022, Eom was selected for South Korea's senior national team for the first time ahead of their off-season training. In a friendly against Iceland on 15 January, he made his senior international debut and scored a goal.

He enjoys playing one-on-one with the opposing defender due to his good sense of touch and dribbling skills. He receives the ball from the side and moves to the centre, preferring to play the role of a right-footed winger who mainly plays on the left.
