Kennon v Spry is a landmark decision of the High Court of Australia, important in the fields of family law and trust law.

The case concerned the distribution of assets held in a discretionary trust in the context of a family law dispute. The parties were in dispute as to whether assets contained within the discretionary trust should be taken into account in a property settlement order.

The decision clarified the way discretionary trusts are to be dealt with by courts in Australian family law proceedings, the nature of the equitable rights held by beneficiaries in trusts, and the interpretation of the term 'property' in the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).
