Kevin Ceccon (born 24 September 1993 in Clusone) is a professional racing driver from Italy.

Career
Karting
Prior to his single–seater career, Ceccon enjoyed a long and successful spell in the junior karting ranks. In 2005 he achieved a fifth place in the Copa Campeones Trophy Junior class before finishing fourth in the Italian Open Masters KF3 category the following year. In 2008 he won the Italian Open Masters KF3 title, and also secured podium finishes in both the South Garda Winter Cup and Andrea Margutti Trophy.

Formula Three
In 2009, Ceccon took the substantial jump from karting to Formula Three, racing in the European F3 Open Championship with RP Motorsport. After a slow start to the season, he finished in the points on nine occasions to be classified 11th in the standings, with fourth–place finishes at Donington Park and Monza being his best race results. He also took part in three rounds of the Italian Formula Three season, finishing in the points in four of his six races to finish 14th in the series.

Ceccon continued with the team for a second season in 2010, improving to fourth place in the final standings after taking six podium places, including his first series win at the final round of the year in Barcelona.
