Kenneth Lotherington Hutchings (born December 7, 1882 in Southborough, Kent, and killed in action, September 3, 1916 in Ginchy, France) was a cricketer who played for Kent and England.
Regarded as the most graceful English batsman of the so-called "Golden Age" of English cricket before the First World War, Hutchings was a member of the Kent team that won the County Championship in 1906, 1909 and 1910. He played just seven Test matches for England, with a highest score of 126 at Melbourne on the 1907/08 tour of Australia.
He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1907.
