Kent R. Schoknecht (born 1957) is a news anchor for KCAL and KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, California who has also had roles in several movies and television shows. The spelling of his name was simplified to Shocknek for on-air use. He began his television career on KNBC.

On air during the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, Shocknek famously said "pardon me" in a calm tone of voice, while ducking under his anchor desk to avoid any falling debris. Following this incident, Angelenos began to refer to him as "Kent Aftershocknek", a play on his last name and the phenomena he protected himself from.
