Jerry Moran (born May 29, 1954, in Great Bend, Kansas) has been a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 1997, representing Kansas's 1st District. The district, popularly known as "the Big First," takes up 69 counties — more than half of the state's landmass — due to its largely rural character. Moran has indicated he will be running for the United States Senate seat held by Sam Brownback in 2010.

Moran was born in Great Bend, Kansas, but grew up in Plainville, Kansas.

Moran attended Fort Hays State University and later the University of Kansas where he completed degrees in economics and law. After an early career as a small town banker, Moran established a law practice in Hays and returned to FHSU as an adjunct professor of political science.
