Dean Julian Kenny (born 22 May 1961) is a former New Zealand rugby union player. A halfback, Kenny represented Otago at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1986. He played three matches for the All Blacks on their tour of France that year, but did not play in any tests.[2]
