Kenneth Charles Hobart (born January 27, 1961) is an American former professional football quarterback who played in the United States Football League (USFL) and the Canadian Football League (CFL) from 1985 to 1990 and was an All-American at Idaho.

Hailing from tiny Kamiah (KAMM-ee-eye) on the Clearwater River in north central Idaho, Hobart was a bespeckled 155-pound (70 kg) wishbone quarterback at Kamiah High School and led the Kubs to the A-3 (now 2A) state title in his senior season. In the summer, he played American Legion baseball for nearby Orofino. After graduation in 1979, he enrolled at Lewis–Clark State College in Lewiston, with the intent of playing college baseball as a pitcher and outfielder for the Warriors, and also basketball.

After a semester at Lewis–Clark State College, Hobart transferred thirty miles (50 km) north to UI in Moscow in January 1980 with the intent to walk-on; he was soon granted a scholarship by Davitch, and became the starting quarterback in his redshirt freshman season. Nicknamed the "Kamiah Kid" by longtime Spokesman-Review columnist Harry Missildine,

Hobart played college football at the University of Idaho from 1980–1983, starting at quarterback for the Vandals in every game (46) for four seasons. The first two years were in the veer option offense under Jerry Davitch, and the final two in a passing attack under new head coach Dennis Erickson. In Erickson's first season in 1982, Hobart led the Vandals to an 8–3 record in the regular season and advanced to the quarterfinals of the twelve-team Division I-AA playoffs, falling on the road 30–38 to eventual champion Eastern Kentucky, and was named offensive player of the year in the Big Sky Conference and 1st Team All-Big Sky Conference. In Hobart's senior season of 1983, the Vandals again went 8–3, but lost all three games in conference and were not selected for the national playoffs. Throwing for over 10,000 yards in his collegiate career, he was again named All-Conference and was a Division I-AA All-American in 1983. He set 23 passing and total-offense marks in his four-year career.

After losses to rival Boise State in his first two seasons, Hobart led the Vandals to two wins under Erickson; this winning streak over the Broncos reached twelve games in 1993.

Hobart also competed for the Idaho track team in the decathlon and still ranks as one of the top decathletes in the school's history, a program which later produced Dan O'Brien. (Idaho dropped baseball as a varsity sport in May 1980 so he did not play after that.) After his football eligibility was used up, he was also asked to play basketball for the Vandals in January 1984. Hobart graduated in the spring with a bachelor's degree in management.

Hobart was a charter member of the Vandal Hall of Fame, inducted in 2007.

Hobart started his professional football career in 1984 with the Jacksonville Bulls of the United States Football League (USFL), as a second round pick in the 1984 USFL draft. He signed a contract in January 1984. After four appearances and two starts, he was traded in May to the Denver Gold for a draft pick, and was the starter on June 8, a two-point loss to eventual champion Philadelphia, decided by a late field goal. During his time in the USFL, Hobart played in 10 games, starting 5; passing for 576 yards and rushing for another 160. He also punted for Denver 6 times for 226 yards.
