Karl Frederik Kinch was a Danish archaeologist and classical philologist. He explored and recorded monuments and tombs in Macedonia during the 1880s and 1890s, recording important archaeological finds before time and looters damaged them. He participated in excavations at Lindos and Vroulia on the island of Rhodes from 1902 to 1914.

Eschara VI 4563 [de], an eschara vessel found in Rhodes, and detailed in Kinch's 1914 work Fouilles de Vroulia (Rhodes). Probably dates to the 8th century BCE due to the late geometric style of pottery. Currently held at the Antikensammlung Berlin.
