Kevin Hofland (born 7 June 1979) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player, and was last the head coach of Eerste Divisie club Willem II.

A centre back during his career, Hofland played 15 active seasons in which he amassed Eredivisie totals of 182 games and eight goals in 10 years, namely for PSV and Feyenoord. He also represented VfL Wolfsburg and AEK Larnaca in Germany and Cyprus, respectively.

Hofland became a Dutch international in the 2000s, earning 7 caps.

On 15 November 2000, Hofland played his first international match with Netherlands, starting in an away friendly with Spain in Seville (2–1 win).

Four of his seven caps for the Oranje came during the ill-fated 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.

On 22 April 2020, it was announced that Hofland had signed a two-year contract as the new head coach of Fortuna Sittard, starting from the 2020–21 season. His predecessor Sjors Ultee became technical director from that moment on. He was dismissed by Fortuna on 11 November 2020, after the club only gained 3 points in its first 8 league games of the season.

On 2 June 2021, he was hired by VfL Wolfsburg in Germany, a club he also played for, as an assistant coach to Mark van Bommel.

On 14 March 2022, Willem II appointed Hofland as head coach on a deal until the end of the 2021–22 season, replacing Fred Grim. Despite the club suffering relegation at the end of the season, Hofland extended his contract until 2024. Hofland was fired in December 2022.
