Jerry Knight (born 14 April 1952, in Los Angeles) was an R&B recording artist in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Along with Ray Parker Jr., he was a founding member of the group Raydio, singing vocals on their early hit, "Jack and Jill". He then left to pursue a solo career, releasing two solo albums and achieving moderate success with minor hits such as "Overnight Sensation", "Perfect Fit" and "Turn It Out".

In 1983 Knight teamed with Ollie Brown to form Ollie & Jerry. Together, they provided the title track to the soundtrack to the movie Breakin', which reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Although his solo career faded, Knight continued to write and produce for acts such as the The Whispers, Patrice Rushen, DeBarge and legendary UK singer Elkie Brooks.
