Kerry Joan Modra OAM[1] (née Golding; born 27 November 1973)[2] is an Australian Paralympic tandem cycling pilot. She was born in the New South Wales city of Nowra.[2] She was introduced to Kieran Modra, a visually impaired cyclist, at a friend's 21st birthday party. He convinced her to take up cycling; she had only played netball before then.[3] She became Modra's pilot, and six months later,[3] she won a gold medal with him at the 1996 Atlanta Games in the Mixed 200 m Sprint Tandem open event,[4] for which she received a Medal of the Order of Australia.[1]

She was married to Modra from May 1997 until his death in 2019,[5][6] and they had three daughters.[7] As Kieran's pilot at the 1998 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Colorado Springs, she won gold medals in the Mixed Tandem Sprint B, Mixed Tandem Time Trial B and Mixed Individual Pursuit B.[8] At the 2000 Sydney Games, she did not win any medals.[9] At the games, she was pregnant with the couple's first child, and fainted due to low blood pressure during a quarter-final sprint race; she was replaced as Kieran's pilot by his sister Tania for the rest of the games.[10] In 2000, she received an Australian Sports Medal.[11]
