Kevin Vuong (born 1989) is a Canadian former politician who was the member of Parliament (MP) for Spadina—Fort York from 2021 to 2025.
Initially nominated as a Liberal candidate at the start of the 2021 Canadian federal election campaign, Vuong's candidacy gained nation-wide negative press attention in the final four days of the election campaign when a withdrawn sexual assault charge from 2019 emerged. The Liberal Party of Canada formally withdrew its endorsement two days prior to election day for Vuong's repeated misrepresentations concealing the charge to party operatives. Given the lateness of the decision, Vuong remained listed as the Liberal candidate on the ballot.
He was elected and sat as an independent MP for the duration of the 44th Canadian Parliament and faced periodic calls for his resignation. He joined the Conservative Party in November 2023, and publicly indicated his wish to sit with the Conservative caucus and run under that party's banner in the 2025 federal election. However, the party declined to allow him to sit in caucus and he did not seek re-election in 2025.
