Sir Kevin Victor Anderson QC (1912 – 14 October 1999) was an Australian lawyer and judge who served on the Supreme Court of Victoria from 1969 to 1984.
Towards the end of the War, he was a liaison officer in the Manila headquarters of General Douglas MacArthur, and was present at the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay in September 1945.
He concluded that it was "a delusional belief system, based on fiction and fallacies and propagated by falsehood and deception" that was "a serious threat to the community, medically, morally and socially".

[4] Anderson served as Chairman of the Victorian Bar Council in 1966–1967, and on 29 April 1969 he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Victoria.
