Kevin Francis King (11 October 1922 – 28 January 1983) was an Australian politician.
He was born in Yarram to farmer George Edward King and Myrtle Daphne Green.

He was also a motor mechanics instructor for the Netherlands East Indies Army. From 1945 to 1948 he worked for a sports car company in Brisbane, but he returned to Melbourne in 1948 to work in a store. In 1951 he joined the Labor Party, and that year married Rosalie Szabo, with whom he had a son. He qualified as a woolclasser, working in Victoria and Tasmania until 1961, when he became the manager of a Melbourne wool store. In 1979 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Springvale. He held the seat until his death at Prahran in 1983.[1]
