John Martin Kenny was a superintendent during the Queensland Aborigine Protection era. He arrived at Hull River on 1 September 1914 and established the Hull River Aboriginal Settlement.

His mother was Catherine Kenny[1] (nee Brown).[2]

He, and his daughter Kathleen, died on 10 March 1918 as a result of flying debris from a massive cyclone that devastated the Mission.[3] As a result, all survivors were relocated to Palm Island.
