Brooks Kerr (born December 26, 1951) is an American jazz pianist born in New Haven, Connecticut, perhaps best-known for being bandleader of a small group featuring Sonny Greer and Russell Procope.

A contemporary and friend of Duke Ellington, Kerr was a student of Willie "The Lion" Smith. The band he led with Greer and Procope frequented Greenwich Village jazz clubs and hotels in the New York City area. Kerr also participated in several tributary projects devoted to Duke Ellington that featured former members of Ellington's crew, such as Ray Nance and Francis Williams.

He attended the Foote School in his native New Haven.
