Kenton Edward Cool (born 30 July 1973, /kl/) is an English climber and mountain guide. He is one of Britain's leading alpine and high altitude climbers. He has reached the summit of Mount Everest 19 times—the most of any non-Nepali. His ascents of Everest include leading Ranulph Fiennes' 2008 and 2009 Expeditions.

He has completed over 45 expeditions in the Greater Ranges and, in 2013, became the first person to climb Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse in a single push without returning to base camp.
