Kimberly Osorio (born in 1974 in Bronx, New York City) is an American hip-hop journalist who holds a Juris Doctorate from New York Law School and a Bachelor of Arts from Fordham University. She began her writing career in the 90s, freelancing for publications such as The Source, Vibe, XXL, Billboard, OneWorld and others.

Osorio began working at The Source magazine in 2000 as an Associate Music Editor and was later promoted to Music Editor. She was given the position of Editor-in-chief in 2003, the first female EIC in the history of the publication.

In 2005, Osorio filed a lawsuit against The Source alleging sexual harassment, gender discrimination, defamation, retaliatory discharge, and maintaining a hostile work environment.

Osorio returned to The Source as Editor-in-Chief in 2012 to help restore the magazine's credibility and solidify the brand's place in the Hip Hop arena.
