'''Kent E. Hovind''' (lahir 15 Januari [[1953]]) adalah seorang penginjil dari [[Amerika Serikat]] pendukung aliran "[[Kreasionisme Bumi barumuda]]". Hovind sering berbicara dalam bidang [[creation science]] dan bertujuan untuk meyakinkan pendengarnya untuk menolak [[Teori Evolusi]] dan menerima penafsirannya mengenai kisah penciptaan di dalam [[Alkitab Ibrani]] atau [[Perjanjian Lama]] di [[Alkitab]] [[Kristen]]. Pandangan Hovind sering bersifat kontradiksi terhadap bukti-bukti ilmiah dan ide-idenya juga ada yang dikritik oleh pendukung "Young Earth creationism" lain, misalnya [[Answers in Genesis]].
 
Hovind mendirikan ''Creation Science Evangelism'' pada tahun 1991, dan sering berbicara mengenai topik Young Earth creationism pada seminar-seminar di sekolah-sekolah swasta, gereja-gereja, serta mengambil bagian dalam debat langsung maupun pada siaran televisi dan radio. Sejak Januari 2007, Hovind menjalani hukuman 10 tahun penjara setelah diputuskan bersalah atas 58 dakwaan federal, termasuk 12 kesalahan pajak, satu dakwaan menghalangi agen federal, dan 45 dakwaan melakukan strukturisasi transaksi keuangan. Saat ini ia menjalani hukuman penjara di Federal Correctional Institution at Berlin, [[New Hampshire]].

===Creation Science Evangelism anddan Creation Today===
Bartelt has stated that Hovind's doctoral [[dissertation]] is evidence of the poor requirements at Patriot and that Hovind lacks knowledge of basic science.<ref name="Bartelt"/> She noted that Hovind's dissertation is incomplete (it contains four chapters totaling 101 pages, but Hovind's introduction claims the work is 250 pages with 16 chapters), of low academic quality, with poor writing, poor spelling, and poor grammatical style. Bartelt asserts that pages are repeated, references are absent, and it is not an original work with original ideas.<ref name="Bartelt"/>
