Kevin William Pilkington (born 8 March 1974) is an English former professional footballer who is now the goalkeeping coach at Barnsley. As a player, he had a 25-year career as a goalkeeper, playing 439 league and cup games.
Noted for his shot stopping abilities, Pilkington played in the Premier League for Manchester United before dropping down to the English Football League, where he played in nearly 350 games in his time at Mansfield Town and Notts County, helping Mansfield win promotion out of the Third Division in 2001–02.
He spent five years with Mansfield and then another ten years over two spells with Notts County; at both clubs he was usually the first choice keeper, rather than a back-up keeper as he was at most other clubs.
He has also represented Rochdale, Rotherham United, Celtic, Port Vale, Aberystwyth Town, Wigan Athletic, Luton Town and Cambridge United.
