Kirby Delauter (born 1964) is an American businessman and politician. He is a former Commissioner of Frederick County, Maryland, and a former member of the Frederick County Council, representing District 5.
Delauter served in the United States Army between 1982 and 1988. In 1993, he bought and became president of the family construction company W.F. Delauter & Son, which was founded by his grandfather and father.
He ran on Frederick County's Republican Conservative Team slate with three other candidates and was elected to a four-year term in 2010 on the Frederick Board of County Commissioners. His campaign platform stressed fiscal responsibility and making the county business friendly.
After the county commissioner government changed into a charter government, in 2014 he defeated Democratic candidate Mark Long in the Frederick County Council District 5 election for its first representative on the new county council. In January 2015, Delauter told a Frederick News-Post reporter on Facebook that he would sue her if she used his name again without his authorization. The incident received national and international coverage, and he apologized for his remarks.
