There have been two '''Kerr baronetcies'''.

The '''Kerr Baronetcy''' of Greenhead, [Roxburgh](/source/Roxburgh), was created in the [Baronetage of Nova Scotia](/source/Baronetage_of_Nova_Scotia) in 1637 for Andrew Kerr. The first three baronets represented [Roxburghshire](/source/Roxburghshire_(Parliament_of_Scotland_constituency)) in the Scottish parliament, and the third was sent as one of the [Scottish representatives to the first Parliament of Great Britain](/source/Scottish_representatives_to_the_first_Parliament_of_Great_Britain) in 1707. The baronetcy became dormant on the death of the seventh baronet in 1776.

The '''Kerr Baronetcy''', of [Cambridge](/source/Cambridge), [Cambridgeshire](/source/Cambridgeshire), was created in the [Baronetage of the United Kingdom](/source/Baronetage_of_the_United_Kingdom) in 1957 for [Hamilton William Kerr](/source/Hamilton_William_Kerr), the [Conservative Party](/source/Conservative_Party_(UK)) [Member of Parliament](/source/Member_of_Parliament) for [Cambridge](/source/Cambridge_(UK_Parliament_constituency)). It became extinct on his death in 1974.
