Kip Wells (born April 21, 1977 in Houston, Texas) is a Major League Baseball starting pitcher. He bats and throws right-handed.

Wells was the first round (16th overall) draft pick of the Chicago White Sox in the 1998 amateur draft. He had previously been selected by the Milwaukee Brewers out of high school in 1995, but elected to play college ball at Baylor University instead. He made his first major league appearance with the White Sox the following year.

After the 2001 season, in which he split time between the starting rotation and the bullpen, Wells was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he currently plays.

As of the end of the 2005 season, Wells had a 55-69 record and a 4.36 E.R.A. after 188 games over the course of seven seasons.

On March 1st, 2006, Wells announced he would have surgery to remove a blood clot in his right arm. The surgery was performed on March 6, and he is expected to miss the first few months of the 2006 season.
