Kirk Patrick Snyder (born June 5, 1983) is an American former professional basketball player who played four seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Nevada Wolf Pack.

Snyder grew up in Upland, California, and spent his college career at University of Nevada, Reno. In 2004, he led the Wolf Pack to its first Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. During that trip, the team beat No. 2 seed Gonzaga and No. 7 seed Michigan State, but lost in the third round to No. 3 and eventual national runner-up Georgia Tech.

Snyder was drafted in the first round (16th overall) of the 2004 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz. After one season, he was traded to the New Orleans Hornets as part one of the largest trades in NBA history (13 players, 5 teams involved).

In New Orleans, Snyder became a starter midway through his only season. He scored a career-high 28 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and averaged nearly 20 minutes per game in 68 contests. After that, he was traded to the Houston Rockets for a 2008 second-round draft pick and cash considerations.

On February 21, 2008, as he was often the last man from the Rockets' bench, Snyder was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves along with a 2010 second-round draft pick and cash considerations for Gerald Green.

His stint with the Timberwolves ended up being his last playing days in the NBA throughout his professional career. Snyder's final NBA game was played on April 16, 2008, in a 110 - 101 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks where he recorded 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Coincidentally, Bucks' guard Awvee Storey also played his final NBA game during this matchup, recording 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

During the 2008 off-season, Snyder signed with the Chinese Basketball Association's Zhejiang Horses.

Snyder later joined the Halifax Rainmen of the Premier Basketball League (PBL). After playing three games for Halifax in late January, 2011, they waived him.
