Kermit "Ken" Lane (December 20, 1912 – November 23, 1996) was an American musician renowned for his contributions as a pianist and composer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Lane gained fame as Dean Martin's pianist on The Dean Martin Show during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before his television success, he was already recognized in the film industry for his musical arrangements in films such as Tars and Spars, Monsieur Beaucaire, and California, among others, between 1946 and 1947.

Lane's most notable achievement as a composer came with the song "Everybody Loves Somebody," co-written with Irving Taylor in 1947. This song was first recorded by Frank Sinatra and later by Dinah Washington and Peggy Lee. Dean Martin's 1964 rendition of the song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Lane's biggest hit.

In addition to his work on television and film, Lane composed the music for the 1975 made-for-TV movie Lucy Gets Lucky, starring Lucille Ball. He was also involved in the music department for various productions, including the TV series Shirley Temple's Storybook and several short films.

Lane had two children: a daughter, Robin Lane, who became a rock singer with her band "Robin Lane and the Chartbusters," and a son, Christopher "Kit" Robert Lane. Ken Lane passed away from emphysema at the age of 83 in Lake Tahoe, California.
