Kevin Payne (January 12, 1972 – March 19, 2006) was a professional boxer. He died as a result of injuries sustained in a bout against Ryan Maraldo on March 18, 2006. Payne had come back from a year-and-a-half layoff to beat Maraldo in their second meeting, an 8-round split decision, that led to Payne being assisted from the ring, and taken to the hospital on a stretcher after the bout.

The official cause of death was given as head trauma causing bleeding in Payne's brain. It was subsequently reported that he may have been complaining of headaches to people close to him prior to the Maraldo bout; Payne, however, did not tell the commission doctor of any problems, and so the bout continued as scheduled.

The fatal bout was televised on Azteca America, and was intended to serve as an eliminator to find an opponent for Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. in a televised bout the following month.
