Kerry Ray King (born June 3, 1964) is an American musician, best known for being the guitarist and songwriter for the American thrash metal band Slayer. He co-founded the band with Jeff Hanneman in 1981 and remained a member for nearly four decades.

King was born in Los Angeles, California. His father was an aircraft parts inspector, and his mother worked for the telephone company. King attended Warren High School in Downey, California, and started learning guitar at Calvano's Music in South Gate.

In school, King was a good student who excelled in math. However, his grades slowly declined after he "discovered" girls as a teenager. He said it worked out in the end because he did not plan to go to college. King confesses that he is an experienced drinker, but claims he has never used drugs in his entire life.

In 1981, King was at an audition trying out for the position of guitarist in a band that King described as turning out to be more of a Southern rock-type band. Afterwards, King approached Jeff Hanneman, who was playing guitar at the reception desk, and said they should jam together and see if they liked playing together. King and Hanneman subsequently decided to start their own band, which would soon evolve into Slayer. King, along with bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, remained in Slayer for the entire length of the band's career, from 1981 to 2019.
