Kevin Kennedy (born May 26, 1954) is a former manager in Major League Baseball and a current television host for Fox Sports' baseball coverage.

Kevin Kennedy was hired to manage the Texas Rangers for the 1993 season after firing Bobby Valentine and Toby Harrah who were used in the 1992 season. Kennedy was let go following the strike-shortened 1994 season after posting only a 52-62 record and was replaced by Johnny Oates. For 1995, Kennedy became the manager for the Boston Red Sox, but was part of a merry-go-round of manager changes in Boston which also saw the firing of Joe Morgan, Butch Hobson and later Jimy Williams, and Kennedy was fired following the 1996 season.

Currently, Kennedy anchors FOX's baseball coverage with Jeanne Zelasko and also hosts a radio program on FOX Sports Radio.
