The Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) is the second-class borough government for the Kenai Peninsula region of Alaska, with offices in Soldotna. An elected mayor and assembly govern a region that includes Kenai, Soldotna, Seward, Nikiski, Sterling, Kalifornsky and Nikolaevsk.

The borough decides zoning, land use, taxation and school funding across the peninsula. Its planning commission hears gravel pits, building inside the buffer along salmon streams and disputes over public easements, and the borough pays for school buildings, including rebuilds and transfers of closed schools. Assembly vacancies, appointments and rules of procedure recur, along with ballot questions such as school board term limits.

The peninsula's economy rests on fishing, oil and gas, and tourism, and the borough has a stake in how the Alaska LNG project is taxed. It works alongside the borough school district and city governments such as Seward.
