Kerry Joseph (born October 4, 1973 in New Iberia, Louisiana) is a quarterback playing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

On April 12, 2006, Kerry Joseph was selected first overall by Saskatchewan in the Ottawa Renegades dispersal draft.

Joseph was the Renegades' starting quarterback. He was acquired as a free agent by the Renegades in 2003. In the last game of the 2005 season, a victory over the division-leading Toronto Argonauts, Joseph became only the third (after Damon Allen and Tracy Ham) quarterback in Canadian Football League history to garner over 1000 rushing yards in a single season, finishing with 1006. Before then he attended the training camp for the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL in 1996, played with the London Monarchs of NFL Europe in 1997, tried out as a slotback for the Washington Redskins in 1998 but played for the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe where he won the World Bowl. He then was picked up by the Seattle Seahawks where he played safety until being released in 2002. He attended McNeese State University.
