Wayne Kramer (* 30. April 1948 in Detroit, Michigan) ist ein US-amerikanischer Gitarrist, Sänger und Komponist. In den späten 1960ern gelang Kramer zu Ruhm, als Mitbegründer der Detroiter Rockgruppe MC5 (Motor City 5). Diese Band war damals sowohl für ihre energiegeladenen Live-Auftritte bekannt, als auch für ihre extreme linke politische Einstellung. MC5 löste sich aber recht bald wieder auf, da viele der Bandmitglieder mit persönlichen, aber auch Drogenproblemen zu kämpfen hatte. Das führte zu einigen schlimmen Jahren für Kramer, er kämpfte sich durch eine lange Zeit der Drogenabhängigkeit, bis er es letztlich schaffte, in den 1990er Jahren wieder im Musikbusiness Fuß zu fassen.
