A wrap of the Class A drug was found in his bedside cabinet during a cell search by staff.
The former Wigan Athletic striker also had a banned mobile phone charger. Married father-of-three King, 29, was last night being held in solitary confinement at Wayland Prison, near Thetford, Norfolk, as punishment.
His cocaine bust will end any last hope the former Premier League player had of resuming his career once he'd finished his 18-month sentence. An insider said: "Clubs won't touch him with a bargepole once they know he's been found with drugs."
King was fired from his £35,000-a-week contract in October.
He was convicted of molesting 20-year-old Emily Carr at London's Soho Revue Bar and breaking her nose when she tried to resist his advances. Prison chiefs are now investigating how King was able to obtain cocaine and the phone charger.
Two weeks ago, The Sun told how he was battered with a plate and left with a black eye during a jail dinner-queue row.
The Prison Service said: "We don't comment on individual prisoners."
