A backpack kickstand assembly for supporting a backpack while the backpack is being worn includes a backpack frame that can be worn on a user's back. A backpack is removably mounted to the backpack frame to facilitate the backpack to be carried on the user's back. A kickstand is attachable to the backpack frame and the kickstand is positionable in an extended position to support the weight of the backpack frame while the backpack frame is being worn to facilitate the wearer of the backpack frame to rest. The kickstand is positionable in a retracted position to facilitate the wearer to bear the full weight of the backpack frame.
