Ken Wright (born May 16 1922 in Newmarket, Suffolk) was an English footballer who played as a forward.

As an amateur, Wright played for Cambridge City before joining West Ham United. He signed pro forms with the East London club in 1946, playing for them for three seasons before leaving in 1949. He was the club's top scorer for the 1948-49 season with 11 goals.

Wright was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross while serving with the Royal Air Force during World War II. He later rejoined the R.A.F. after a knee injury forced his retirement from football.
