Wayne Cochran (born 1939, Thomaston, Georgia, United States) is an American soul singer, known for his outlandish outfits and white pompadour. He is sometimes referred to as The White Knight of Soul.

Cochran is best known today for writing the song "Last Kiss", which he performed with his band, Wayne Cochran and the C.C. Riders. Although it was not a success for him, later covers by J. Frank Wilson and Pearl Jam became hits.
