Kevin Van Impe (born April 19 1981 in Aalst) is a Belgian professional road bicycle racer. He is the son of former cyclist Frank Van Impe. His uncle is the famous ex-cyclist Lucien Van Impe.

A routine out of competition drugs test performed on Van Impe caused controversy in March 2008. Van Impe was asked to give a sample for testing whilst at a crematorium making funeral arrangements for his deceased son, and was warned that failure to provide a sample would count as a refusal to give a sample, for which sanctions apply.
