Naomi Nari Nam (born July 6, 1985 in Anaheim, California), is an American figure skater.

Naomi placed second in the senior ladies division at the United States Figure Skating Championships in 1999, behind Michelle Kwan. Touted as one of the "Baby Ballerinas" (along with Sasha Cohen, Jennifer Kirk, Sarah Hughes), she was groomed as a rising skating star, but a serious hip injury (stress fracture) sidelined her figure skating career.

In 2003, following hip surgery, she won the Southwest Pacific Regional title but placed 5th at the Pacific Coast Sectionals. She failed to qualify for the 2004 U.S. Nationals.

Naomi is currently coaching in the Artesia, California area.

She recently took up pairs skating with Themistocles Leftheris. After winning both the Regional and Pacific Coast Sectional, the pair placed 5th at the 2006 United States Figure Skating Championships.
