Kerstin Andersdotter (1774–1852), known as Mor Kerstin i Stämmemand-Kinna (Mother Kerstin of Stämmemand-Kinna), was a Swedish textile industrialist.

She was an important figure within the Swedish textile industry, managing a major cotton industry through the putting-out system in around the countryside of Kinna in Västergötland. In 1840, 80 percent of all cotton textiles sold from Sweden was sold from the Kinna area. She played an important part in the beginning of the industrialization of Sweden, which largedly originated from the putting-out system textile industry, when it started to manufacture cotton textile in precisely her area in this time period. Her son Sven Erikson was to become one of the major industrialists in Sweden. She also started banking by money lending.
