Kevin Onyekachi Amuneke (born 10 May 1986 in Eze Obodo) is a Nigerian football left wing. He currently plays for Swedish team IFK Norrköping. He is the younger brother of footballers Emmanuel Amuneke and Kingsley Amuneke.
After passing as a youth for both SL Benfica and FC Porto in Portugal, he started playing professionally in Sweden with Landskrona BoIS (where he played alongside brother Kingsley), and after two years he returned to Portugal, appearing for Vitória Setúbal.
On 21 May 2007, it was reported that Amuneke had agreed to join PFC CSKA Sofia and his club had negotiated the financial matters with the Bulgarian team. Amuneke officially signed with the Bulgarian club in June, in a transfer worth €400,000. He returned to Sweden in December of the same year to play for IFK Norrköping in the Swedish first division. The transfer fee was this time reported as €300,000.
He has won two caps for Nigeria, both during the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, featuring against Rwanda and Angola in June 2005.
