Kevin Carlson (b. April 12, 1962) is a puppeteer who has performed on various Muppet and Henson projects. On tour as the primary puppeteer in The Muppet Show: On Tour!, Carlson met both his future wife (who was one of the costumed dancers) and Jim Henson.

Outside of the Muppet realm, Carlson was trained at a workshop hosted by Sid and Marty Krofft, later performing in a series of 1981 Oral Roberts Celebration specials. He later wrote and performed in the puppet series The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth as well as the feature film Team America: World Police, the Men in Black film series, Pee-wee's Playhouse, The Mr. Potato Head Show, Imagination Movers, and other TV shows and commercials. In 2006, Carlson performed a puppet character, "Edward R. Meow", in an episode of The Office; the puppet was a character in a TV show that Michael Scott (Steve Carell) appeared in as a child.

Carlson also ran an online puppet greeting card site called Puppet Greetings featuring original characters such as Captain Bucky, Bob, Eyegore (Sidney Cyclops from The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth but with a different name) and more.
