Brian Kerr (born 3 March 1953) is an Irish football manager.
Born in Dublin, Kerr grew up playing football and boxing.

Realising later that he didn't have the talent to become a top player, he decided to focus on coaching.
In 1986, he was appointed manager of the League of Ireland side St Patrick's Athletic.
In 1992, when the club was facing liquidation, Kerr was among the investors who raised IR£82,000 to help save the club.
In December 1996, he left St.
Pat's to become the technical director of the Football Association of Ireland, but he is still idolised by the St.
Pat's fans.
He worked with the Republic of Ireland youth squads and also with the senior side.
He was appointed as the full-time manager of the senior Ireland team on 26 January 2003.
In 2007, Kerr became the Director of Football of St.
Patrick's Athletic.
Then, in 2009, he was confirmed as the head coach of the Faroe Islands national team.
He left that post in October 2011.
