Mortimer 'Dan' Keily (16 May 1892 - 28 June 1967) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Keily, a Brighton junior and former Havelock player, struggled to cement a place in a strong Carlton team which made the finals in every season that he was at the club. After missing out on the 1914 and 1915 premierships, Keily was a losing Grand Finalist in 1916. A wingman or fullback, he received a 24 game suspension after Carlton's 1917 Semi-Final loss to Fitzroy for abusive language toward a steward.
