The Division of Kennedy is an Australian electoral division in the state of Queensland. It is the state's second-largest division after the neighbouring Division of Maranoa, stretching from the Northern Territory border and the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Coral Sea, just southeast of Cairns and northwest of Townsville.
Since 1993 its MP has been Bob Katter, who has been Father of the House since 2022. Katter founded Katter's Australian Party in 2011, after sitting 10 years as an Independent following him leaving the National Party.
