Kevin Cuthbert (born 8 September 1982 in Perth) is a Scottish goalkeeper who currently plays for Raith Rovers.
Cuthbert started his career at St Johnstone, where he played from 1998 until leaving a decade later.
Cuthbert made his St Johnstone debut in September 2001 after an injury to Alan Main. He remained in goal for the following two games, after which Main returned only to break his leg. Instead of turning to Cuthbert again, then-manager Sandy Clark brought in Alan Miller on loan from Blackburn Rovers as cover. Later that same season, in which St Johnstone lost their Scottish Premier League status, Cuthbert was given a seven-game run of starts.
Cuthbert started the 2002–03 season between the goalposts but lost it for a three-month spell after Main had recovered from his broken limb. Main however, was sold to Livingston and the management at St Johnstone then brought in Craig Nelson during the 2003–04 season to replace the gap left by Main. However Cuthbert's performances kept him in favour for all but seven games. When John Connolly brought in Rangers' young goalkeeper Allan McGregor on loan in 2004–05, Cuthbert had to settle for a place on the bench for the majority of the season.
For the first part of the 2006–07 season, Owen Coyle opted to go with new signing Bryn Halliwell. Cuthbert's hopes of challenging the Englishman for the starting jersey were set back after the former broke his finger in training, an injury that required surgery. He returned to action in the new year, making his first start in a 2–1 win over Clyde on Boxing Day. On 31 March 2007, Cuthbert was given a straight red card in a 2–1 loss to Livingston at McDiarmid Park, resulting in his missing two out of St Johnstone's four remaining league games.
