Kyle Neville Porter (born January 19, 1990) is a Canadian soccer player who plays for Tampa Bay Rowdies in the United Soccer League.
Porter grew up in nearby Mississauga, Ontario and attended John Fraser Secondary School, St. Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary School and Burnaby Central Secondary School, and played club soccer for the Erin Mills Soccer Club and the Mississauga Falcons before joining the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency program in 2007. He appeared in friendly games with the Residency team during tours of Germany and played in the prestigious Dallas Cup in 2007.
Porter also played with the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency team in its inaugural season in the USL Premier Development League in 2008.
Porter was loaned to Energie Cottbus after impressing the German club during a one-month trial in the summer of 2008, and subsequently played for Cottbus' U-19 Junior Bundesliga side. He was promoted to the Cottbus U-23 reserve squad that played in Germany's fourth-tier Regionalliga Nord during the second half of the 2008-2009 season, making five appearances and scoring one goal. He continued with Cottbus II in the 2009-2010 season, making 11 appearances and scoring one goal.
Porter returned to the Vancouver Whitecaps in mid-2010, and made his debut as a substitute on October 2, 2010 in Vancouver's last game of the 2010 USSFD2 regular season, a 2-2 tie with the Portland Timbers. Porter delivered the cross for the equalizing goal in the match.
