Jasper Jerald 'Jerry' Kerr (1 June 1912 - 8 November 1999) was a Scottish football player and manager, best known as manager of Dundee United from 1959 to 1971. He is credited with taking the club from relative obscurity to being mainstays in what is now the Scottish Premier League. A native of West Lothian, Kerr was a full back in a playing career which began at Armadale and took him to Motherwell and Alloa Athletic before joining St Bernards in 1937. He captained the Edinburgh side to the Scottish Cup semi-finals in his first season at the Gymnasium, where they eventually lost to fellow Second Division side East Fife in a second replay. He became one of new Dundee United manager Bobby McKay's first signings during the close season of 1939 and again was made club captain but only four League matches of season 1939-40 were played before the competition was abandoned.
