Justin Miles Kemp (born 2 October 1977, Queenstown, Cape Province, South Africa) is a South African cricketer who has played Test and ODI cricket for South Africa since the 2000–01 season. Kemp is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast medium bowler. Kemp is a very handy middle order batsman who is capable of slogging the ball out of the ground. Kemp currently plays for Kent and has some large totals to his name as a batsman. His 56 ball century at Canterbury helped win the game and he ended up on 118 from 67. His 57 from 31 balls at Tunbridge Wells against Ireland included 5 sixes and 2 fours.

In 2003, Kemp played in England for Worcestershire, with a best bowling return of 5-48 n the County Championship against Glamorgan in June, and a top score of 90 against Hampshire in the same competition in September.

He is the third generation of his family to play first-class cricket: his grandfather John Miles Kemp played a single match for Border in 1947-48, while his father John Wesley Kemp made three appearances for the same province in 1975-76 and 1976-77.

On November 26, 2006, in the third ODI of the series between India and South Africa, his side were at 137 for 7 when Kemp came in and smashed his way to his maiden ODI century with the help of Andrew Hall. Together they put on a World Record 8th wicket stand of 138 and took their score to 274, with Kemp named Man of the Match.
