Kevin Foley (born March 10, 1988 in France) is a French drummer of Irish-Italian descent. He has played with bands including Decapitated, Sepultura, Sabaton (band), Abbath, Disavowed, Benighted and Mumakil. He is a permanent member of Disavowed and Benighted. He has recorded 3 albums with the French Death Metal band since he joined it in 2006.

Foley was first inducted into death metal (double bass and blast beat) by Benighted. although the young drummer had already proved his talent in many other bands.

In 2011, he played with the Swedish band Sabaton (band) for three shows when their drummer hurt his knee. Sabaton was on a common tour with the Heavy Metal band Nightmare (French band) and Kevin was their session drummer. He had only some hours to learn all the tracks. Some months later on 25th, November 2011, he played drums with Nervecell (band from Dubai) at Abu Dabhi for the Metallica's opening.

Similarly two years later, Kevin was called upon by the famous Brazilian band Sepultura to stand in for their drummer after an injury he sustained during their European tour, with only hours to learn the setlist. He played for 8 shows with Sepultura. After the tour Sepultura published a press release to thank him for his help.
