Kevin Wright (19 February 1933 – 3 October 2003) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Wright was used initially in the midfield, either as a centre, rover or wingman. Towards the end of his career he played more as a forward after establishing himself with a six goal haul in the opening round of the 1958 VFL season. He kicked 43 in 1959 to top Fitzroy's goal-kicking and was their most prolific forward again the following season with 36 goals.
After briefly serving as captain-coach of Dandenong from 1962 to 1964, Wright returned to Fitzroy where he became a director. He also spent a season, in 1972, as non playing coach of Preston.
