Jack Kerouac (født Jean-Louis Lebris Kerouac) (født 12. mars 1922 i Lowell Massachusetts i USA, død 21. oktober 1969 i St. Petersburg, Florida) var en amerikansk forfatter av kanadisk bakgrunn.

Kerouac var en ledende skikkelse i beatbevegelsen. Han var opphavsmannen til spontan prosa. Hans gjennombruddsroman On the Road (1957) ble en stor suksess og er i dag en moderne klassiker.

Keouac hadde en sterk og langvarig interesse for buddhisme, noe han blant annet skildret i The Dharma Bums.
