Kingsley Njoku (born 18 August 1986 in Lagos, Nigeria) is a Nigerian footballer who last played for Lalor United of the Australian Men's State League 4 North.

In 2011, Njoku scored 5 goals in a friendly game opposing Asia Euro University that ended 10-1 in favor of Crown;[12] that year, he also scored the opening goal 12 seconds into the match, in a 4-0 triumph over Prek Pra Keila.[13]
