Kenneth Ragan (born September 12, 1950) is an American stock car racing driver. Now retired, he formerly competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, and is the father of driver David Ragan.
Ragan made fifty Cup starts from 1982 to 1990, mostly for his brother Marvin, but also drove in the 1985 season for Roger Hamby. Ragan's best finish was an eleventh place that he recorded at Talladega Superspeedway in 1984. He also made five Busch Series starts in 1982 and 1983. Ragan's 1984 No. 77 Cup car is sometimes featured in stills from the 1984 Firecracker 400, as he was the lapped car directly ahead of Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough in their battle for victory. He was the last driver to win at Middle Georgia Raceway.
Ragan travels with his son to his races and has served as his manager. He formerly worked at David Ragan Ford, a car dealership owned for several years by his son in Perry, Georgia.
Ragan is a type 1 diabetic, which he was diagnosed with in the 1970s.
