Kenneth John McKenzie (1926–1998) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s and 1950s. McKenzie was later an Administrator at the St. George Dragons.

He went on to play 95 games for Saints in all grades, was captain of Reserve Grade for many years and actually captained the First Grade team on 25 April 1952 in a game against Parramatta. He retired from football in 1952 after suffering recurring knee cartilage problems.

In February 1955, McKenzie was elected the sixth Hon. Secretary of St. George replacing Baden Wales.
