Kim Davenport (born November 15, 1955, in McAlester, Oklahoma) is an American professional pocket billiards (pool) player, nicknamed "Kimmer".
He became a professional player in 1985.
Davenport is an originator of target pool.
Winner of over 60 professional tournaments, Davenport has represented the United States as a three-time member and two-time captain of the Team USA at the Mosconi Cup.[1]
He was also a member of the International Pool Tour,[2]
Davenport has only limited vision in his right eye, the result of a golf accident at a local driving range on November 16, 2002. The setback came during a period in which Davenport had regained a spot in the men's top 10 rankings of the United States Professional Poolplayers Association. "I've been playing well", Davenport said. "But if I never get to play pool again, I've had 17 great years. It's just a bad roll. A nice sunny day that went dark."[3]

He and American champion Johnny Archer operated a pool room in Marietta, Georgia, named the Marietta Billiard Club.
Davenport became a member of the BCA Hall of Fame (2018).
