Kevin 'Noofa' Roberts (born 11 April 1939) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1960s.
Roberts was recruited from Cheltenham, where he played as a full-back. A left footer, he became a half forward flanker at St Kilda and kicked three goals in a narrow Semi Final loss to Melbourne at the MCG in 1963. He came off the bench as a reserve in the 1965 VFL Grand Final loss to Essendon. After kicking 17 goals in his first eight games in the 1966 VFL season, Roberts broke his collarbone against Melbourne and as a result missed the premiership win.
