Kenneth Charles "Ken" Hobart (born January 27, 1961) is a former all-star quarterback in the CFL, playing in Canada from 1985-90.

Hobart played college football at the University of Idaho from 1981-83, the final two seasons for the Vandals under new head coach Dennis Erickson. Hailing from tiny Kamiah, Idaho, he was nicknamed the "Kamiah Kid," and also competed for the track and field team in the decathlon; he still ranks as one of the top decathletes in the school's history. Hobart graduated in 1984 with a degree in management.

Hobart started his professional football career in 1984 with the Jacksonville Bulls of the USFL, then moved to Canada in 1985. He played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Ottawa Rough Riders; he led the Tiger-Cats to a Grey Cup championship in 1986.
