Kevin Francis Bartlett (born October 12, 1962 in Portsmouth) is a former English professional footballer who played as a forward.

Bartlett started his career with his hometown club Portsmouth but struggled to make an impact and dropped into non-league football with Fareham Town before being spotted by Cardiff City manager Frank Burrows. He signed for Cardiff in September 1986 and made an impression straight away, scoring twice in 4-0 win in the Welsh Cup over Taffs Well followed by another two goals against Cambridge United in a 3-0 victory three days later. Eventually he left the Bluebirds to sign for West Bromwich Albion where he only remained for one year before moving on to Notts County. After several prolific years he spent a short time on loan at Port Vale before moving to Cambridge United. He retired a few months after joining the club due to injury.
