Kent Huskins (born May 4, 1979 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian ice hockey defenceman.

Huskins currently plays for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League. Before making his NHL debut with the Ducks in 2006, he played five seasons in the American Hockey League. He was drafted 156th overall in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, and played for the Norfolk, San Antonio, and Manitoba before joining the Ducks' AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, in 2005. He also played four seasons at Clarkson University, tallying 15 goals and 63 assists in 135 games. In his senior year, Huskins was an NCAA East First Team All-American and a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.

Huskins made his NHL debut on December 23, 2006 when the Ducks played Wayne Gretzky's Phoenix Coyotes. Kent was recalled from Portland to fill a gap in the Anaheim defensive corps caused by an injury to Sean O'Donnell, and then later to Chris Pronger. He was sent back down a month later, but called up for good when the Ducks dealt Shane O'Brien at the trade deadline.
