Kenneth Copeland (born December 6, 1936 in Lubbock, Texas) is an American (neo-pentecostal) Word of Faith teacher, preacher, singer, televangelist, actor and author. He can be considered to be a part of the Charismatic movement.

Kenneth Copeland claimed to be a successful pop singer before turning his life over to ministry work following his conversion on November 2, 1962. In the 1960s, he was a pilot for faith healer Oral Roberts. Copeland attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but never graduated. Later he studied under another Pentecostal evangelist, Kenneth E. Hagin.

Kenneth Copeland Ministries has its headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
