Jerry Lee Lewis (lahir 29 September 1935) adalah seorang penyanyi, penulis lagu, musisi, dan pianis Amerika, yang lebih dikenal dengan julukannya, The Killer. Ia disebut sebagai "pria luar besar pertama dari rock & roll."[5]
Sebagai seorang pionir dari musik rock and roll dan rockabilly, Lewis membuat rekaman-rekaman pertamanya pada 1956 di Sun Records, Memphis. "Crazy Arms" terjual 300,000 salinan di kawasan Selatan, tetapi hit tahun 1957-nya "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" yang membuat Lewis meraih ketenaran di seluruh dunia. Ia menyusulnya dengan "Great Balls of Fire", "Breathless" dan "High School Confidential". Namun, karier rock and roll Lewis kandas saat ia menikahi sepupu jauhnya yang berusia 13 tahun saat ia berusia 23 tahun.

His drive, his timing, his offhand vocal power, his unmistakable boogie-plus piano, and his absolute confidence in the face of the void make Jerry Lee the quintessential rock and roller. He's a country artist out of geography and simple pique at rock's scared-shitless powers-that-be—it was the inadequacy of country's moralism, after all, that drove him to rockabilly.
