Kirby Allen Wilbur (born November 11, 1953) is an American talk radio journalist in Seattle, Washington and a conservative political activist.

Wilbur was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Seattle, graduating from Queen Anne High School and the University of Washington. A real estate appraiser by profession, Wilbur was a frequent caller to Seattle talk radio stations when, in 1993, a producer at KVI-AM asked him to audition for an on-air position. He was first employed by the station as a substitute host, then began weekday evening broadcasts in 1993.

Wilbur, who has served as a delegate to three Republican National Conventions, met his wife, Trina, while working on Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign. They have two sons, Nathan and Adam.

Wilbur is a member of the boards of directors of the Young America's Foundation, the American Conservative Union,Second Amendment Foundation, and Citizens United.

In 1999 Wilbur co-authored, with Floyd Brown, Say the Right Thing: Talk Radio's Favorite Conservative Quotes, Notes and Gloats, which was published by Merrill Press.

Wilbur began hosting the 5:00am to 9:00am (PT) time slot at KVI-AM in 1995 as The Kirby Wilbur Show. In 2006, the name of the program was changed to Kirby & Co. and began to feature occasional, but increasingly irregular, contributions by KVI news director Carleen Johnson and producer David Carson.

Frequent guests included "Brian the Movie Guy", a local movie reviewer who provides family-friendly film reviews. Famous guests included Donald Rumsfeld, Laura Schlessinger, and Dennis Miller.
