Kevin van der Perren (born August 6, 1982 in Ninove, Belgium) is a Belgian figure skater. He is the six time Belgian national champion. Van der Perren was the flag bearer for Belgian at the 2006 Winter Olympics. He is engaged to British skater Jenna McCorkell.

Van der Perren first dreamed of being a figure skater after a traveling ice show came to his town to perform. Although his parents wanted him to play soccer and he was teased by his classmates at school, he refused to give up his dream of being an elite figure skater.

Van der Perren is a two-time silver medalist from the Junior World Figure Skating Championships. A hip injury he suffered after the 2006 Winter Olympics forced him to withdraw from the 2006 World Figure Skating Championships. He wondered whether he should take part in the 2007 European Championships because maybe his winning a medal wasn't meant to be, but decided to give it a go and won bronze. This made him the first Belgian to win a medal in figure skating since 1947.
