Jeff Kevin (born 1944) is an Australian actor, theatre director and drama lecturer best known for portraying Arnold Feather in 338 episodes of the television soap opera Number 96, from 1972-1977.

His character was involved in some of the more-remarkable story lines in the program, including his marriage to Patti Olsen and her subsequent death at the hands of the "Pantyhose Strangler". He also fell in love with Robyn Ross, who he did not realise was transgender. That broke new ground for a TV serial, in that Ross was played by cabaret artist Carlotta, who was the first transgender actress to portray a transgender character anywhere in the world.[1][2]
