Kenneth Ronald "Ken" Melvin (born September 18, 1952, in Fayetteville, North Carolina) is an American politician, lawyer and jurist. He served as a Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates from Portsmouth from 1985 to 2009. On May 1, 2009, he retired from the House and became a judge of the Portsmouth Circuit Court.
On February 24, 2009, Melvin announced he would not run for reelection. On April 7, Governor Tim Kaine appointed Melvin to a circuit court judgeship in Portsmouth, effective May 1, 2009.
On March 4, 2016, Melvin was named as the possible successor to Judge Rossie D. Alston, Jr. of the Court of Appeals of Virginia if Alston were to be elevated to the Supreme Court of Virginia. Alston's election to the Supreme Court is in doubt because of the controversy over the failure of the General Assembly to confirm Justice Jane Marum Roush.
