Vernon Myman Lyman Kellogg (born December 1, 1867 in Emporia, Kansas; died August 8, 1937 in Hartford, Connecticut) was a U.S. entomologist.

He studied under Francis Snow at the University of Kansas.

From 1894 to 1920 Kellog was professor of entomology at Stanford University, interrupted by two years (1915 and 1916) spent in Brussels as director of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium.

Kellog specialized in insect taxonomy and economic entomology.

Herbert Hoover was among his students.
