The name Goni (Korean: ê³ ëÂÂ, ]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The variant Koni was used in 2003 before the spelling was corrected by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. The name was contributed by South Korea and means swan in Korean.
- Severe Tropical Storm Koni (2003) (T0308, 08W, Gilas) â a Category 1 equivalent typhoon, by the JTWC, that struck the Philippines and Hainan.
- Tropical Storm Goni (2009) (T0907, 08W, Jolina) â interacted with Typhoon Morakot.

- Typhoon Goni (2020) (T2019, 22W, Rolly) â made landfall as a Category 5âÂÂequivalent super typhoon on Catanduanes in the Philippines and in Vietnam as a tropical depression.
The name Goni was retired following the 2020 typhoon season and was replaced with Gaenari (Korean: ê°ÂëÂÂ리, ]), which means a Korean goldenbell tree (Forsythia koreana).
