Dekel Keinan (Hebrew: דֶקֶל קֵינַן), (born September 15, 1984) is an Israeli footballer currently plying his trade at Maccabi Haifa.

Keinan is considered one of the best young defenders in Israel, showcasing his talents for the Israel U-21 squad that advanced to the 2007 European U-21 Championships. Keinan reportedly drew interest from English Premiership side Bolton Wanderers in January 2007, but those talks quickly dissolved after it was discovered that Keinan would be unable to obtain an English work permit.
