Mark Kerr (born 2 March 1982) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Falkirk in the Scottish Championship. He is in his second spell at the club, having started his senior career there in 1998. He later played for Dundee United and Aberdeen before joining Asteras Tripoli in Greece. Returning to Scotland, Kerr played for Dunfermline Athletic, Dundee, Partick Thistle and Queen of the South before rejoining Falkirk in 2015. He made one appearance for the Scotland B team in 2005.
Kerr began his career with Falkirk, where he played from 1998 until 2003. He had joined Falkirk from Moodiesburn Boys Club as a sixteen-year-old, and progressed through the Youth Development scheme at Brockville, so was already well known to then-manager Ian McCall and his management team. McCall had been keeping tabs on the Scotland Under-21 player since he himself left Falkirk.
Kerr made his Falkirk debut towards the end of the 1998–99 season at the age of 17 against Clydebank. The following season, he turned out seven times and scored his first goal in a 3–3 draw at Ayr United. For the next three seasons, he hardly missed a game for Falkirk and by the time he left, he had accumulated 125 appearances and scored nine times.
In July 2003, he moved to Dundee United on a Bosman transfer. Kerr soon settled at Tannadice and became a regular in the side, and by the end of his first season, he had racked up 33 League and two cup appearances. His tenacity in midfield was a feature of the latter part of the campaign in which United finished strongly to take fifth place.
