Kimberly Diane "Kim" Craig née Day is the accident-prone fictional character in the Australian sitcom Kath & Kim, portrayed by Gina Riley. Along with her co-star who plays her onscreen mother, Jane Turner who plays Kath Day-Knight, Riley created the series and writes it.

The idea was originally grasped during the nineties while successful Australian shows such as Big Girl's Blouse had skits on them with identical characters of the same name. Kath & Kim aired first on 16 May 2002, and become a hit in Australia and Internationally.

The series ended in 2007. Riley returned to screens as Kim in the film version Kath & Kimderella, which premiered in cinemas in September 2012.

Kim is often portrayed as lazy and rude. She is often seen lying down most of the time, shopping or snacking.

Kim often wears short T-shirts which allow her belly to show. Her fashion choices change frequently, at some points she wears comfortable clothing (e.g. baggy pants and a sweatshirt) and the rest of the time obsesses over herself in the mirror and talks about the latest fashion trends, which don't usually flatter her. Kim has long brown hair and always wears make-up. Kim smokes and can be seen in the pantry of their Fountain Lakes Home, scouring it for food (usually which Sharon ends up taking and Kim reacts).

Kim is also seen reading Australian magazines such as New Idea and Famous.

Kim's outlook on herself appears to vary. She has called herself a "Yummy Mummy!" and most of the time she refers to herself as a "horn-bag" and says that people would kill to be with "this"[referring to herself], however at other points in Kath & Kim she appears as very unhappy with herself and self-conscious of her weight. This is the polar opposite to her mother, Kath, who is extremely happy with her outward appearance and calls herself "high maintenance". Kim, like her mother, is currently unemployed but has a hard time trying to search for a job, let alone keep one, which might explain her constant hiring and firings from the contact center.
