Keith Frank Kettleborough (born June 29, 1935, in Rotherham, England) was a footballer who played for Sheffield United and Rotherham United.

Keith played both football and cricket at professional level. He started his football career with Rotherham Y.M.C.A. and after a trial with Grimsby Town; he turned professional with his home town club of Rotherham United, making his debut during the 1955-56 season. It took him two years to win a regular place at inside-forward.

Sheffield United signed him in December 1960, but it was not until the following season that he earned a regular place in the first team. He played for five years with the Blades in the First Division making 154 league appearances 17 goals.

In December 1965, he signed for Newcastle United, but only made 30 starts for the Magpies, before transferring to Doncaster Rovers exactly a year later. In November 1967, he signed for Chesterfield where he completed his football career.
