Pig Benis (born Jack Kilcoyne, May 30, 1969 in Lakewood, Ohio) is the bass guitarist for Cleveland, Ohio heavy metal band Mushroomhead. He joined the band in 1995, replacing his brother Joe Kilcoyne. He also plays bass for the Cleveland based band (216), which features other past and present members of Mushroomhead. He also played bass in another Cleveland based metal band called Ritual, though much is unknown about the band.

He can be identified in Mushroomhead as wearing a 'Mushroomhead' bandana on his new pig head mask that features the X face for the new album "Savior Sorrow".

The name "Pig Benis" is a spoonerism of "Big Penis"; while performing, he wears a pig mask.
