Charles Hope Kerr (April 23, 1860 – June 1, 1944) was an American publisher, editor, writer and translator. A son of abolitionists, he established the Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company in Chicago in 1886. Initially it printed Unitarian literature, but he soon moved the company in a radical direction toward socialism, Marxism, and support for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). He sold his controlling interest in the company in 1928.
