Kent Kingsley (born 26 September 1978) is a former Australian rules footballer for the North Melbourne Football Club, the Geelong Football Club and the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

A full forward, Kingsley was recruited from the Woodville-West Torrens Football Club along with his twin brother Wade by Port Adelaide, but the brothers were quickly traded to North Melbourne for Paul Geister in 1996. Elevated as a rookie in 1999, he made his AFL debut in round 10 of the season and kicked six goals against Port Adelaide.

He was traded to Geelong at the end of the 2000 season.

During his time at the Cats, he became the sides leading goalkicker from 2002–2005 and was a key option up forward for Geelong. However, he was often maligned by fans of the team due to his inconsistency and inaccuracy in front of goal. Frustrations boiled over in 2006 when the West Coast Eagles overran Geelong in the teams biggest comeback in its short history. Trailing by 54 points (9 Goals) West Coast looked certain for their 2nd loss for the season, but stormed back kicking 12 goals to Geelong's 5 in the second half. Many called for Kingsley to be delisted.

During the 2006 season, Kingsley was dropped from the side midway through the 2006 season despite the Cats lack of other forward options. At the seasons end, Kingsley joined the Richmond Football Club via the Pre Season Draft.

He played only 3 senior games in 2007 for Richmond, and announced his retirement from AFL football on 28 August 2007.

Off the field, Kingsley has worked as an internet entrepreneur.^[1]

Kent is Currently playing for Glen Orden in the Western Region Football League.^[2]
