David O'Keeffe (born 20 February 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and the Brisbane Bears in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).
Recruited locally, O'Keeffe was a member of the Geelong reserves premiership in 1982. A wingman, he had his best season in 1984 when he made 19 appearances, took 70 marks and averaged 14 disposals.[2]
O'Keeffe played in Brisbane's first ever VFL game in the opening round of the 1987 season and a total of 16 games that year.[2] He continued to be a regular fixture in the team and missed just two games in 1989.[2] In their upset win over Hawthorn that season, O'Keeffe played as a full-back and kept Jason Dunstall to three goals.[3]
In 1991, O'Keeffe's final season, he played just four AFL games but finished his career on a high by participating in the reserves grand final win over Melbourne.
