Sir Kenneth Pugh Thompson, 1st Baronet (24 December 1909 – 4 January 1984) was a British company director and politician from Liverpool.
Due to contracting polio as a child he could not be sent to fight; so during the Second World War Thompson became a civil servant working as a Regional Officer for the Ministry of Information, and remained active in Liverpool.
Thompson retained his seat on Liverpool City Council despite his entrance on the national political stage.
He returned to business but remained involved in politics, and in 1973 was elected to the newly created Merseyside County Council.
When the Thatcher government created in 1980 the Merseyside Development Corporation to regenerate the area, Thompson was appointed as deputy chairman.
