Joe Keohane (1918 1988) was an Irish sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club John Mitchels and was a member of the Kerry senior inter-county team from 1936 until 1949.[1]

In a senior inter-county career that spanned two decades, Keohane won almost every honour in the game at senior level. He won five All-Ireland medals, ten Munster medals, however, a National Football League title eluded him. Keohane also won two Railway Cup medals with Munster.
