Trevor Kaine is an Australian politician, best known as the Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) from 5 December 1989–6 June 1991.

He was the first Opposition Leader of the ACT, leading the Liberal Opposition immediately after the creation of the Legislative Assemby. Kaine became Chief Minister just seven months after the Assembly's inception, but lost at the next election eighteen months later. He served as Opposition Leader for the second time, until Kate Carnell took over leadership of his party in 1993.

Kaine stayed on with the Liberal Party after losing the leadership, and acted as Urban Services Minister when the party won the 1995 elections under Carnell. Following the 1998 elections, Kaine resigned from the Liberal Party and formed the United Canberra Party. The party was deregistered on 30 June 2001, and Kaine faced the 2001 ACT election as an independent candidate; an election he subsequently lost, for the first time since self-government.
