Kermit Erasmus (born July 8, 1990 in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape) is a South African football (soccer) striker. He currently plays for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.

Stocky Erasmus is being compared to Wayne Rooney and Brazilian legend Romario and has already represented the Under-17s and Under-20s scoring plenty of goals.

He was promoted to the first team at the start of the 07-08 season and scored the first professional goal of his career in a 3-1 league win against Ajax Cape Town on March 4, 2008.

He recently signed a pre-contract with Dutch side Feyenoord and joined them for the 2008-2009 season after turning 18. His surname Erasmus is the same name of Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch humanist who up and until this day is highly respected in Rotterdam, the city of his new club Feyenoord.

He was not named after American puppet Kermit the Frog, but after a jazz musician named Kermit Ruffins.fact|date=July 2008
