Kiddie Coaster is a small steel roller coaster for children at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut. It opened on June 27, 1997, the same day as the park's Zoomerang, and was built by Molina & Son's. It is one of five roller coasters RCDB lists as operating at the park, alongside Wildcat, Zoomerang, Boulder Dash and Phobia Phear Coaster.

The ride runs on an oval track with a chain lift hill and has no inversions. Its single train has five cars, each seating two riders side by side, for ten riders per trip. The park describes it as a miniature coaster with pint-sized ups and downs.

Lake Compounce lists it as a kid ride with no minimum rider height and a maximum of 56 inches. No source gives its height, length or speed.
