John Langston Kuempel (born May 11, 1970) is an American politician. He has represented the 44th District in the Texas House of Representatives since winning a special election in December 2010 to fill the seat, which was vacated upon the death of his father, Edmund Kuempel.

Edward Kuempel had held the 44th District seat since 1983. He had been re-elected in 2010, but died before he could be sworn in for the 82nd Legislature. [1][2]

As related members of the Texas Legislature, the Kuempels are one of around 100 such families where a parent-child pair, sibling pair, or spouse pair have both served in the Texas House and/or Senate. [3]

Kuempel is a member of the Republican Party.[4]
