Kevin Vink (born 30 July 1984 in Maassluis) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a striker for Dutch amateur club Excelsior Maassluis.
In his youth, Vink, known for his height, tried to become a professional footballer for Sparta Rotterdam but did not progress beyond the youth team, and soon he returned to his hometown team, Excelsior Maassluis. In the 2005–06 season, Vink made his first first-team debut in the Dutch amateur league, the Hoofdklasse.
He was also selected for the Dutch national amateur team, and he impressed, by scoring a free kick against the Dutch Olympic team. This led to an opportunity to play professional football with RKC Waalwijk. In the 2006–07 season, Vink primarily played for the RKC youth side. At the end of the season, Vink made his debut in professional football for RKC Waalwijk's first team.
His great feats as a super-sub earned him a new contract with RKC although in the following season he failed to play many matches, so was loaned out to SBV Excelsior. At this club, he got a major breakthrough, netting in 6 out of 14 matches.
In 2010, he decided to return to amateur football, signing with childhood club, Excelsior Maassluis.
