Kerrier is a local government district in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is the most southerly district in the United Kingdom, other than the Isles of Scilly. Its council is based in Camborne. Other places in the district include Redruth, Helston. The district contains the Lizard Peninsula.

The district is named after an ancient hundred of Cornwall, which covered broadly the same area, but did not have a coast on the north, like the modern district.
