Kerry (Welsh: Ceri) is a small village in Powys, mid-Wales.
Kerry lies on the A489 road some five miles east of Newtown. It was the terminus of the Kerry Railway, later a Cambrian Railway branch connecting it to Abermule that ceased operating in 1956. The narrow gauge Kerry Tramway brought timber from the forests to the main line station.
The Kerry Ward on Powys Council also includes the village of Sarn.
It gives its name to the Kerry Hill breed of sheep.
