Ken Krawetz is a Canadian provincial politician. He is the Saskatchewan Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan for the constituency of Canora-Pelly.

Krawetz was first elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in the 1995 provincial election as a Liberal. He became Leader of the Opposition in 1996 when Jim Melenchuk was chosen Liberal Party leader as Melenchuk did not have a seat in the legislature. In 1997, Krawetz joined three other Liberal MLAs and four Progressive Conservative MLAs in leaving their respective parties in order to form the new Saskatchewan Party. He remained Leader of the Opposition until the 1999 provincial election that saw Saskatchewan Party leader Elwin Hermanson elected to the legislature.

Following the 2007 provincial election that saw the Saskatchewan Party take power for the first time the new Premier, Brad Wall, appointed Krawetz to cabinet as Deputy Premier and Minister of Education.
