Kerr's Pink is a potato cultivar in wide production in the United Kingdom, Ireland and many other countries. Although often quoted as an "Irish potato" (where it was introduced in 1917), the cultivar was actually created by J. Henry of Cornhill, Scotland in 1907.

In 2002, it accounted for 25% of Irish potato production [cite web|url=http://www.bordbia.ie/Corporate/Publications/horticulture/Potato_Census_2003.pdf|title=Irish Potato Census|accessdate=2007-01-09] making it the nations second largest variety.

Kerr's Pink potatoes to look at have a distinctive pink colour with deep eyes. They are quite floury and starchy. They are very good for mashing and boiling but can also be chipped.

Kerr's Pinks grow with many tubers and can catch potato blight very easily.
