Kenny Eaton (born 16 August 1916 and died 31 December 1980) was an American businessman and racing driver. He attempted to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 between 1949 and 1951, but was not successful in doing so.
Eaton began racing in the late 1930s, becoming a regular competitor in the late 1940s and mid 1950s on both dirt and paved circuits. During World War II, he served in the military, putting his racing career on hold.
Outside of racing, he owned a grocery store and apple orchard in his hometown. He was also a real estate dealer in the area. He died of a heart attack while vacationing in Florida.
