Jack Kelly is a Republican politician and former member of the City Council of Philadelphia.

Kelly originally represented the Seventh District on Council. In 1987, he defeated Democratic incumbent Patricia Harris for the seat,[1] but he was defeated in his bid for re-election four years later by Daniel McElhatton.
