The object of the present paper is to classify (k; ) 0 -almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting Cotton tensors. We have characterized (k; ) 0almost Kenmotsu manifolds with vanishing and parallel Cotton tensors. Beside this, (k; ) 0 -almost Kenmotsu manifolds satisfying Cotton semisymmetry and Q(g; C) = 0 are studied. Further, Cotton pseudo-symmetric (k; ) 0 -almost Kenmotsu manifolds are classi…ed.
