Kerry Ellsworth Conley (1 September 1866 - 5 March 1924) was Minnesota businessman, civic leader, and politician.

Together with his brother Fred, he founded the Conley Camera Company in Spring Valley, Minnesota. They moved the business to Rochester, Minnesota and built a factory. The company sold cameras through Sears catalogs, and eventually became a division of Sears.

Kerry Conley served in a number of political offices, including the Minnesota State House of Representatives. He also owned a hotel and a company which produced cut glass windows.

About 1909, he built an American Foursquare style home designed to showcase many examples of ornate glass and woodwork, which stood until 2014. The former factory still stands.
