Pak Kwang-Ryong (Hangul: 박광룡; born 27 September 1992 in Pyongyang) is a North Korean professional footballer who plays as a striker for Lausanne in the Swiss Super League.
Pak joined Basel on 27 June 2011 from FC Wil 1900. He played for the club in the Uhrencup during July 2011 and scored a goal in the 2–1 win against West Ham United on 13 July 2011. Pak made his first team league debut as a substitute on 16 July 2011 in the 1–1 away draw against BSC Young Boys.
Because he was born in 1992 he was eligible to play for the newly formed Basel Under-19 team in the 2011–12 NextGen series. He scored his first goal for them during the team's first game against Tottenham Hotspur F.C. on 17 August 2011.
On 14 September 2011 Pak became the first North Korean to play in the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League campaign, coming on the field in the 92nd minute. On his 19th birthday, 27 September 2011, Pak came on as a substitute in the 81st minute of FC Basel's 3–3 away draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford in another UEFA Champions League match. At the end of the 2011–12 season he won the Double, the League Championship title and the Swiss Cup, with Basel.
