binomial_authority = Kim, Min & Matsui, 2003The Kori salamander, "Hynobius yangi", is a species of lentic breeding salamander found in southeastern South Korea. It is similar to the Korean salamander, "Hynobius leechi", but is distinguished by factors including tail shape and dorsal coloration.

The Kori salamander takes its name from Go-ri, a village in Hyoam-ri, Jangan-eup, Gijang-gun, in rural northern Busan. The species is only known to inhabit the immediate vicinity of the type locality, although it may be more widespread. As of 2007, it had not received an assessment from the IUCN.
