Henry August "Hank" Kuehne II (born September 11, 1975) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour.

Kuehne was born in Dallas, Texas. His father started him playing golf at a young age. He has a sister (Kelli) who plays on the LPGA Tour, and a brother (Trip) who finished second to Tiger Woods in the 1994 U.S. Amateur and remains an amateur. Kuehne began his college career at Oklahoma State University, but later transferred to Southern Methodist University, where he earned second team All-American honors his junior year as a member of the golf team. Kuehne won the 1998 U.S. Amateur while a student at SMU. He turned pro in 1999.

Although he has several professional wins in non-Tour events, Kuehne's best finish on the PGA Tour has been a T-2 at both the 2003 Shell Houston Open and the 2005 John Deere Classic. His best result in a major is a 65th place finish at the 1999 U.S. Open. In 2004, he unseated John Daly as the Tour's Driving Distance leader. (Daly had won eight consecutive titles.)
