Jean-Pierre Poirier (11 September 1956 in Paris – July 2000 in Brussels) also known as Jerry Wanker and Jerry WX) was a Belgian guitarist from Brussels, Belgium, who played in several punk rock bands.

Poirier started out with Chainsaw (the first punk band in Brussels and the French-speaking part of Belgium) together with Micky Mike (aka Snowy Red). After only one 7", Chainsaw called it quits and Jerry moved on for a short stint in X-Pulsion with the Klang-brothers (one split seven inch record with Streets).

His next step moved away from punk, with Digital Dance together with Streets keyboard player Jean-Marc Lederman (best known for his work in The Weathermen). After Digital Dance, he went into different side projects (with ex-Digital Dancers Stephan Barbery and TVIC), to finally find his ultimate love in the garage rock band The Revenge. Like his former partner Micky Mike, he went into production and session work for many known and unknown Belgian bands until his death.
