Kenna is an unincorporated community in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, United States.

A contractor by the name of Kenna camped in Urton during the construction of a roadbed for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.

Kenna's camp served as a stopping place for stagecoaches to exchange mail as well as passengers.

Established first as Urton in 1902 by the opening of a post office, the name was changed back to Kenna in 1906.
