Kenneth LeRoy Erickson (May 15, 1926 – January 14, 1997) was an American farmer and politician who was a member of the North Dakota House of Representatives and North Dakota Senate. He was a delegate to the 1971-1972 North Dakota Constitutional Convention.[1]

Erickson was born near De Lamere, North Dakota. He was the son of Edward Selmer Erickson (1894-1965) and Agnes Martinson Erickson (1896-1967). In 1944, his parents retired and he began farming his family farm in rural Sargent County. He also served on the Council of Immanuel Lutheran Church in DeLamere and as a Township Supervisor for Hall Township in Sargent County.[2][3]

He represented District 26 in the North Dakota House from 1967 to 1968 and 1973-1980 and in the Senate from 1981 to 1984.[4][5]
