Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC; em português: Frango Frito do Kentucky) é uma rede de restaurantes de fast-food estadunidense, que explora a antiga receita de frango frito do Kentucky, criada pelo Coronel Harland Sanders, fundador do KFC, em 1939, na cidade de Corbin, no estado do Kentucky, nos Estados Unidos. Actualmente, tem a sua sede em Louisville, no estado do Kentucky e pertence à empresa Yum! Brands, da PepsiCo. A companhia adoptou a forma abreviada do seu nome em 1991 por três razões: para retirar ênfase ao frango (uma vez que pretendia oferecer outros tipos de comida), para afastar as conotações pouco saudáveis da palavra frito e por considerar que um nome mais curto atrairia melhor os jovens. Recentemente, começou a voltar a abraçar o nome Kentucky Fried Chicken, usando ambas as formas nos seus anúncios comerciais.
