Kenya Pipeline Company Limited (KPC) is a Kenyan state corporation responsible for transporting, storing, and delivering petroleum products through a national pipeline system and an oil depot network. It is based in Nairobi, incorporated in 1973, and began commercial operations in 1978, operating under the Ministry of Energy with full government ownership. The company runs a pipeline system that moves refined products from Mombasa to Nairobi and to western towns such as Nakuru, Kisumu, and Eldoret, supported by five storage and distribution depots in Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nairobi, and Nakuru.

In addition to logistics, KPC acts as a government partner, facilitating policy implementation through the Ministry of Energy and supporting projects such as extending the oil pipeline to Uganda and developing LPG import handling and storage facilities. The depots are supplied by domestically refined product from the Kenya Petroleum Refinery near Nairobi and imported product from the Kipevu Oil Storage Facility near Mombasa, and the company also operates two aviation fuel depots at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Moi International Airport. In 2026, KPC announced expansion of facilities in Mombasa and entered a joint venture with Asharami Energy to develop a 30,000-tonne terminal at Changamwe.
