Ian Mackenzie-Kerr (born 18 November 1929 in London; died 27 May 2005 in London) was a British book designer. He worked for Thames & Hudson for almost fifty years.
Mackenzie-Kerr was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, where he developed his interest in art and drama under the leadership of the headmaster, Thorold Coade. He undertook National Service in Cyprus as an intelligence officer monitoring Arabic language broadcasts. In 1950, he started four years at Goldsmiths College, University of London. He then moved to the Royal College of Art, where he was taught about illustration.
He was offered Peter Cook's role in Beyond the Fringe on the tour of Australia.
In 1962, Nikolaus Pevsner persuaged Mackenzie-Kerr to become designer and joint editor of the Victorian Society Annual with Ian Sutton, a colleague at Thames & Hudson. He produced the drawings for Strong Points by Roy Strong.
