Gerrit Hendrik Kersten (6 August 1882, Deventer – 6 September 1948, Waarde) was a Dutch Christian minister and politician. In 1907, Kersten founded the Reformed Congregations (Dutch: Gereformeerde Gemeenten). Eleven years later, in 1918, he had established the Reformed Political Party (Dutch: Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij) to realize his vision of "a Calvinist Netherlands without cinema, sports, vaccination and social security". He was the party's first member of the House of Representatives, being elected in 1922. He would remain in parliament until 1945.
