Kevin B. Thomas (born 1936) is an American film critic. He began writing film reviews for the Los Angeles Times in 1962, and served in that role until 2005. His long tenure made him the longest-running film critic among major United States newspapers.

Thomas was known for giving fairly positive reviews compared to other critics, and certainly less critical than Kenneth Turan, who joined the Los Angeles Times in 1991.

In 2003, the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association gave Thomas a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Thomas was born in Los Angeles in 1936. He earned a bachelor's degree from Gettysburg College in 1958 and master's degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1960.
