Jerry Lynn Young (October 1942 – December 2015) was an American criminal and bank robber, appearing on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list in 1967.

Born in Alabama, Young joined the U.S. Marine Corps in February 1961; however, finding military training and discipline too difficult, he eventually received a dishonorable discharge in March 1962 following his conviction for robbing $4,359 from a bank in Richlands, North Carolina.

Sentenced to six years' imprisonment, Young earned parole in August 1963, remaining on probation until March 1, 1967.

After being identified by photographs in a bank robbery in Olive Branch, Mississippi of $14,919 on April 14, Young was declared a federal fugitive and officially added as the 248th fugitive to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list on May 12, 1967.

[1] After only a month on the run, Young was arrested with accomplice William Webb by FBI agents as they left their motel room in Akron, Ohio on June 15.
