Kepler-296c is a confirmed exoplanet located in the binary star system Kepler-296. It was discovered in 2014 by the Kepler space telescope using the transit method. During a study{{cite web |title=The Extrasolar Planet Encyclopaedia — Kepler-296 c |url=https://exoplanet.eu/catalog/kepler_296_c--1882/ |work=Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia |date=5 February 2021}} by members of the NASA Ames Research Center on two other planets in the Kepler-296 system, Kepler-296f and Kepler-296e, they confirmed that Kepler-296c was an exoplanet with "more than 99% confidence".
