Lewis Kerr (born 25 March 1990) is a British speedway rider from Snettisham, England.

Kerr took up speedway in late 2009, and made his competitive debut in June the following year for King's Lynn Young Stars' in the National League Knock-Out Cup.[1] Initially named as the team's number 8, towards the end of the season, having averaged almost 6 points per match in National League matches, he was named in the main seven places in the team.[2] He was again named in the team for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. In 2012 he rode in the Premier League as a guest replacement for Plymouth Devils, Somerset Rebels and Leicester Lions, and in November 2012 he was named in a doubling up role in the Lions team for 2013, sharing the number seven position with Lewis Blackbird, while continuing to ride for King's Lynn in the National League.[3][4] He was released before the start of the season after being offered a full-time reserve position with Newcastle Diamonds.
