Kenneth Eli "Ken" Osterberger, Jr. (April 3, 1930 – August 10, 2016), was a member of the Louisiana State Senate for East Baton Rouge Parish. He served first as a Democrat in the elections of 1972, 1975, 1979, and 1983 and then as a Republican in the contest held in 1987. His tenure ended in 1992, and he was succeeded by the Moderate Republican Jay Dardenne, the current Louisiana commissioner of administration and the former lieutenant governor. His legislative service corresponded with the first three administrations of Governor Edwin Edwards and the intervening years of Governors David C. Treen and Buddy Roemer.
One of two children of Kenneth Osterberger, Sr. (died 1946), Osterberger was the president of the Louisiana State University student body from 1952 to 1953.
