Kimball Bent (24 August 1837 – 22 May 1916), also known as Kimble Bent, was a soldier and adventurer who gained fame for deserting from the British Army during the New Zealand Wars and living among the Māori people of New Zealand. Born in Eastport, Maine, USA, Bent led a life marked by adventure and adversity. His tumultuous journey included stints as a sailor/gunner in the US Navy, service in India with the British Army, and ultimately his decision to desert in New Zealand in 1865.
