Keith Ryan (born June 25, 1970 in Northampton) is an English former professional footballer, now a youth team coach at Queens Park Rangers in the Football League Championship.

Ryan started his career at Berkhamsted Town and was signed for Wycombe Wanderers in August 1990 by Martin O'Neill. 'Rhino', as he is affectionately known by Wycombe fans, played in over 500 games for the club and scored over 50 goals, including Wycombe's goal in the 2001 FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.

Following the departure of manager Tony Adams in November 2004, Ryan was appointed caretaker manager until the appointment of the replacement manager John Gorman. Gorman rewarded Ryan's service for the club by making him an assistant manager, along with fellow Blues legend Steve Brown. Ryan retired from professional football in April 2006.

Ryan was retained as a coach when Paul Lambert took over as manager in June 2006, but left the club a year later due to a restructuring of the coaching staff.

In July 2007, Ryan was appointed by John Gregory, his former manager at Wycombe, as a youth team coach at Queens Park Rangers.
