Kyle Mabrey (born July 23, 1974; died February 19, 2017 in Bessemer) was a professional bass fisherman.

Mabrey graduated from Hueytown High School and studied at UAB. He worked as a respiratory therapist at Children's Hospital while participating on the FLW and BASS professional fishing tours. He also co-founded Yellow Hammer Lures.

Mabrey was killed when his Chevrolet Tahoe ran off of I-459 and plunged into a lowered Norfolk Southern Railway corridor near the McCalla Bible Church. He was thrown from the vehicle when an oncoming train struck the boat he was hauling.
