Kenneth John McCrohon (1932 – 30 September 2018) was an Australian rugby league player.
Hailing from Tingha, a town near Armidale, McCrohon was a NSW Country Seconds representative and trialled with Balmain while playing in Sydney, from where he got scouted to join Brisbane club Western Suburbs. He immediately became Western Suburbs's first-choice fullback and won premiership in his first season in 1954.
McCrohon was one of three fullbacks to feature for Australia during their 1956 home series against New Zealand, in the absence of Clive Churchill. He played the 1st Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground and was replaced by Gordon Clifford for the next match, with Norm Pope then playing the finale.
In 1958, McCrohon had a season as a player-coach with Kempsey.
