Kevin MacLeod (born. September 28, 1972) is an American composer and musician. He went to college, where he studied music education.

MacLeod has composed over 2,000 pieces of royalty-free library music and made them available under a Creative Commons copyright license.

MacLeod has also created FreePD.com, which collects new public domain sound recordings by various artists. Rather than waiting for old copyrights to expire, he hopes to provide a quality library of modern recorded works by artists who explicitly release their music into the public domain.

In 2015, MacLeod was awarded the International Honorary Web Video Award at the 2015 German Web Video Awards by the European Web Video Academy for his lifetime achievement in influencing the German web video community.
