Kenzo Suzuki (鈴木 健三 Suzuki Kenzō?, born July 25, 1974) is a Japanese professional wrestler. He is perhaps best known for his appearances with New Japan Pro Wrestling and in the United States with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he was a one-time Tag Team Champion in the latter company. He currently performs for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) under the ring name Kenso, where he is a one-time World Tag Team Champion and a one-time Gaora TV Champion.

Suzuki was a rugby union player, playing at the international level for Japan prior to his professional debut as a wrestler in January 2000.

Suzuki debuted on January 4, 2000, at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Wrestling World 2000 event at the Tokyo Dome, replacing Bill Goldberg and losing to Manabu Nakanishi. Later that year, Suzuki won NJPW's Young Lion Cup tournament, defeating Shinya Makabe. He also won Rookie of the Year honors from NJPW in the same year. Following this, he would go on to become the only man to win the Young Lion Cup twice after defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi in 2002 and later formed a tag team with Tanahashi known as The Kings of the Hills.
