Müşfik Galip Kenter (9 September 1932 – 15 August 2012) was a Turkish theatre and voice actor. He was of English descent from his maternal side.

Müşfik Kenter was born to diplomat Ahmet Naci Kenter and his wife Nadide, née Olga Cynthia, in Istanbul on 11 October 1928. His mother was naturalized after her marriage to Ahmet Naci and moved to Turkey, changing her given name to Nadide. Kenter's paternal grandfather was Mehmet Galip Bey.{{Cite web|date=28 February 2020|title=Yıldız Kenter'in Ailesi ve Çocukluğu|url=http://www.sanatatak.com/view/yildiz-kenterin-ailesi-ve-cocuklugu|access-date=2 January 2024|website=|publisher=sanatatak.com|trans-title=Yıldız Kenter's Family and Childhood}}
