Kenneth Hunnel (Bam Bam) Weekes (January 24, 1912, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. – February 9, 1998, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.) was a West Indian cricketer who represented Jamaica (1938-1947/48) and played two Tests matches on the West Indies tour of England in 1939.

Cousin of the renowned batsman Everton, he was the first Test cricketer to be born in the United States; as of 2007, the only other US-born cricketer to have played at that level is the Sri Lankan Jehan Mubarak.
