John J. Kenney (c. 1844 - August 7, 1893) was an American professional baseball player. He played outfield and second base for the Brooklyn Atlantics in, when that club belatedly joined the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players in its second season.
Kenney played five games during May of that season; in 19 at bats he did not get a base hit but is credited with one run batted in.
Previously he had been a regular outfielder for the Atlantics in 1867 and a substitute infielder during the next two seasons. In the first professional season, 1869, he played primarily third base in nine of 58 team games on record. Next season he was a regular outfielder and infielder for Union of Morrisania (now in the Bronx), a lesser one of fifteen professional teams in 1870.[1]
