Palloseura Kemi Kings or PS Kemi Kings is a Finnish football team based in the town of Kemi, who are currently playing in the Finnish second division, the Ykkönen. The club was established on October 21, 1999.

The team was created out of a merger between Kemin Palloseura (KePS), Kemin Pallotoverit-85 (KPT-85) and Visan Pallo. All three teams continue only as junior teams–having younger than B-juniors–while PS Kemi took over A and B juniors. The best achievement of PS Kemi Kings so far has been reaching eighth place in the Finnish Cup competition 2006. The team also played in Finnish Cup's small final, but lost it to Kultsu FC after the penalty shootout.
