Ken Lass (born in Wisconsin) is a television news personality, currently co-hosting WVTM's "Daytime Alabama" with Wendy Garner.

Lass grew up in Wisconsin and began his career at a small radio station south of Green Bay. In 1978 he accepted a job as a sports anchor in Tallahassee, Florida, and moved, with his wife, Sharon, to several markets before settling in Birmingham in 1983. He joined Huffman Baptist Church in 1984 and later joined First Baptist Church of Trussville. They have two children, Brett and Brittany.

Lass debuted as WVTM's sports anchor and director in 1983. He moved up to the news anchor desk in 2002, joining Garner on the early morning and mid-day newscasts until July 2005. After leaving the station, the pair hosted a morning radio program on WDJC-FM from 2006 to 2008.

Lass returned to television as anchor of the evening newscast on WIAT from September 2009 to March 2013. He and Garner returned to WVTM in July of that year.
