Thomas Caldwell Kerr (15 August 1887 – 25 June 1956) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.^[1]

Kerr was born at Stanthorpe, Queensland, the son of John Kerr and his wife Mary (née Caldwell). He was educated at Sherwood State School and from 1905 to 1915 was a pearl sheller in the Dutch East Indies and Thursday Island. Later on he was a public accountant and auditor with Wright, Kerr and Co. in Brisbane.^[1]

He served in the First Australian Imperial Force in World War I, being based with the 31st Infantry Battalion.^[1]

On 8 November 1919 he married Lillian Violet Berry ^[1] (died 1954)^[2] in Brisbane and together had two sons and one daughter. One of their sons died in World War II while serving as a Spitfire Pilot in France. Kerr died in June 1956.^[1] He was cremated at Mt Thompson Crematorium and his ashes are in the columbarium wall at St Matthew's Anglican Church, Sherwood.^[3]

Kerr, a member of the UAP, and later the QPP and the Liberal Party, won the seat of Oxley in the Queensland Legislative Assembly in the 1943 by-election to replace Thomas Nimmo who had died in February of that year. He was to represent the seat until it was abolished before the 1950 state election.^[1]

He then moved to the new seat of Sherwood, holding it for six years until he retired from politics in 1956.^[1] He collapsed and died a month later in his Queen Street office.
