Simon Christopher Kerrigan (born 10 May 1989) is a retired English cricketer who last played for Northamptonshire. He bowled slow left arm orthodox spin. Kerrigan signed for Lancashire in September 2008, and made his debut for the first team in 2010, filling in for Gary Keedy, Lancashire's senior spinner. In August 2011, Kerrigan was selected for the England Lions for the first time. The following month he took the best first-class bowling figures for Lancashire since 1953 (9 wickets for 51 runs) and that year Lancashire won the County Championship for the first time since 1950.

The 2012 season saw Kerrigan replace Keedy as Lancashire's main spinner in first-class cricket. He played his only Test match in the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval in 2013.
