Val Edward Kilmer (født 31. december 1959 i Los Angeles, død 1. april 2025) var en amerikansk forfatter, film- og teaterskuespiller.
Kilmer begyndte sin professionelle karriere som skuespiller på teateret. Han debuterede på det store lærred i 1984 i komedien Top Secret! og to år efter spillede han Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky i Top Gun fra 1986. Han fik sit store internationale gennembrud da han spillede The Doors-forsangeren Jim Morrison i Oliver Stone's The Doors fra 1991, og har siden da arbejdet med blandt andet (50 Cent - Curtis Jackson) i filmen "Gun" fra 2010, hvori han spiller hovedrollen sammen med Curtis Jackson.
I 1993 spillede han overfor Kurt Russell i westernfilmen Tombstone og i juli 1994 annonceredes det at Val Kilmer skulle overtage rollen som Batman/Bruce Wayne fra Michael Keaton.
Fra 1988 til 1996 var Kilmer gift med den britiske skuespillerinde Joanne Whalley, som han mødte, da de begge spillede med i fantasy-filmen Willow. Val og Joanne fik to børn sammen. Siden The Doors-filmen var Val Kilmer og instruktøren Oliver Stone gode venner, og det var af flere omgange planen at Val skulle spille titelrollen i storfilmen Alexander. Da projektet blev forsinket flere år måtte rollen overlades til den noget yngre Colin Farrell. I stedet spiller Val rollen som Alexanders far Philip. I 2010 forventedes det at Val ville debutere som instruktør med filmen Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy; ti år senere var projektet stadig på tegnebrættet.
Han skrev desuden bogen, I'm Your Huckleberry: A Memoir, som han udgav 21 April 2020.
