{{Short description|Zoning of the U.S. state for standard time}}{{More citations needed|date=October 2025}} Time in Kansas is divided into two time zones.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Time Zones in Kansas, United States |url=https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/usa/kansas |access-date=2025-10-23 |website=www.timeanddate.com |language=en}}</ref> The Central Time Zone contains 101 of the state's 105 counties. The four counties Sherman, Wallace, Greeley, and Hamilton, all of which border Colorado fall into the Mountain Time Zone. (Until 1990, the western half of Kearny County, including the county seat of Lakin, was also on Mountain Time.)
Cheyenne County borders Colorado and Nebraska, but is in the Central Time Zone, creating an unusual situation where one can cross into the Mountain Time Zone from three of the county's four sides. The exception is Rawlins County, which borders Cheyenne County to the east.
