Robert Gerard Kerin (born 4 January 1954) was the Premier of South Australia from 22 October 2001 to 5 March 2002, and 9th Deputy Premier of South Australia from 7 July 1998 until he became Premier, representing the South Australian Division of the Liberal Party of Australia. The Liberals won government at the 1993 election landslide with Dean Brown as leader, however John Olsen successfully challenged Brown for the premiership a year before the 1997 election where the Olsen Liberals were reduced to minority government. Due to the Motorola affair where Olsen misled parliament, he resigned the premiership to Kerin several months before the 2002 election where the Liberals lost government.
Born to parents Maurice and Molly Kerin in Crystal Brook, Kerin attended the Adelaide Catholic secondary school, Sacred Heart College Senior.
Kerin was elected to parliament in 1993 as the member for the mid-north rural electoral district of Frome. Between 1995 and 2001 he held various ministries in the Dean Brown and John Olsen governments: Primary Industries, Natural Resources and Regional Development, Minerals and Energy, State Development, Tourism and Multicultural Affairs. Following the resignation of Deputy Premier Graham Ingerson, Kerin succeeded him.
