Sir Emmanuel Kaye (29 November 1914 – 28 February 1999) was a millionaire British industrialist and philanthropist. He was also a member of the CBI council from 1976 to 1989, and its financial policy committee from 1985 to 1992. Once a strong supporter of the Conservative party, he was persuaded by Lord Levy to contribute substantially to Tony Blair's Labour Leader's Office Fund before the 1997 General Election.
