KBibTeX is a reference management software primarily for BibTeX which is typically used in conjunction with TeX/LaTeX. Beyond normal editing capabilities, it offers features such as searching and importing new references from Google Scholar or BibSonomy.

KBibTeX uses KDE but is not part of the official KDE Software Compilation or Calligra. There exist two versions of KBibTeX: One that is built on KDE Platform 4, and another built on KDE Frameworks 5. KBibTeX was started in 2004 for KDE3.{{Cite web|url=https://dot.kde.org/2010/10/21/thomas-fischer-kbibtex-kde-reference-manager|title=Thomas Fischer on KBibTeX, the KDE Reference Manager|date=2010-10-21|website=KDE.news|language=en|access-date=2019-03-27}} Its online documentation is hosted on a KDE server along with a copy in Portable Document Format for the purpose of offline reading.[http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-office/ Documentation to extragear-office module]
