Kevin Owen Foley (born 25 September 1960)[1] is a former South Australian politician. From Rann Labor's election to government at the 2002 election until 2011, Foley became the longest-serving Deputy Premier of South Australia and the third-longest-serving Treasurer of South Australia. He was first elected to the seat of Hart at the 1993 election before moving to the seat of Port Adelaide at the 2002 election after an electoral redistribution.
Foley worked for the Australian Trade Commission, Cadbury Schweppes, Boral Limited and steel distribution company Australian National Industries. Foley became a Senior Advisor and Chief of Staff to former Premier Lynn Arnold.
Foley announced his resignation from the roles of Deputy Premier and Treasurer in February 2011, although he continued as a member of cabinet with the Defence, Police, Emergency Services and Motor Sports portfolios.[2][3][4] In October 2011 he resigned from the Cabinet, coinciding with Mike Rann's resignation as Premier.[5] Foley's parliamentary resignation took effect on 12 December 2011, creating a 2012 Port Adelaide by-election.
