Kip Capley (born March 18, 1997) is an American politician from Tennessee. He is a Republican and represents District 71 in the Tennessee House of Representatives.[1] As of 2023, Capley is the youngest member of the State House.

Capley was born on March 18, 1997, in Middle Tennessee.[2] He graduated from Zion Christian Academy in Columbia, Tennessee.[3] Capley attended Middle Tennessee State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in history and political science.[4] While at MTSU, he became a founding member of the school's Turning Point USA chapter.[5] Capley also earned a Master of Business Administration from Trevecca Nazarene University.[6]

Capley's first campaign for the State House was in 2022, when he ran to succeed David Byrd who decided not to seek re-election.[7] Upon his announcement, Capley received an endorsement from Manny Sethi, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in 2020.[8] He won the Republican primary and went on to defeat Democrat David Carson in the general election.[9][10]

In 2023, Capley supported resolutions to expel three Democratic lawmakers from the legislature for violating decorum rules.[11]
