Keith Gilbertson (born May 15, 1948 in Snohomish, Washington) is a football coach, currently an assistant coach with the Seattle Seahawks. He was the head coach of the Washington Huskies from 2003-04, where his record was 7-16 (.304), following the abrupt summer dismissal of Rick Neuheisel in 2003.

Gilbertson's previous head coaching experience was at California (1993-96, 20-26 (.435)), and Idaho (1986-88, 28-9 (.757)), then in Division I-AA. His overall record as a collegiate head coach stands at 55-51 (.519). Gilbertson was first elevated to head coach when Dennis Erickson departed Idaho for Wyoming following the 1985 season.

He was previously an assistant coach at Washington under Neuheisel (1999-2002) & Don James (1989-92), and for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks (1996-98) under Erickson.

Gilbertson graduated from Snohomish High School in 1966 and attended the University of Hawaii and Central Washington University, graduating in 1971.
