Alexander "Sandy" Kerr (3 May 1871 – 18 June 1936) was a New Zealand international rugby union player.
Kerr was born in East Taieri and educated at Green Island School, which he left as an 11 year old.[1]
A powerful loose forward, Kerr started out at Kaikorai in Dunedin and after moving to Christchurch club Linwood played provincial rugby with Canterbury. He shares with Sydney Orchard the distinction of being the first All Black to be selected from Linwood, making his international debut against Queensland at Wellington in 1896. After contributing a try to help his side to victory, Kerr retained his place for the 1897 tour of Australia, but was forced to withdraw.[2]
Kerr was a leather tanner and later coal merchant by profession.[3]
