Kenneth "Ken" Gordon (born in 1930) is a Trinidadian businessman and former politician.

He went to Saint Mary's College and went away to study in the United States and United Kingdom to further his studies. He went into broadcasting in the early 1950s as a radio announcer for Radio Trinidad. He later became chairman of a conglomerate. In 1986 he was appointed a Minister of Tourism under the National Alliance for Reconstruction as a senator.

He married three times, the present being Marguerite Gordon. He has four children.

He was instrumental in introducing the first private television station in the English Caribbean, CCN TV6, and Prime Radio, which is owned by the Trinidad and Tobago Express Newspapers Limited, in 1991. He was the chairman of that company until 2006, when he became chairman of the West Indies Cricket Board.
