John Brendan Kelly Jr. (May 24, 1927 – March 2, 1985), also known as Kell Kelly, was an American athlete, rower, and Olympic medalist. He was the son of triple Olympic gold medal winner Jack Kelly Sr., and the elder brother of the actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. In 1947, Kelly was awarded the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States. He had become president of the United States Olympic Committee shortly before his death.
Kelly was also a politician, and served as an at-large member of the Philadelphia City Council.
