Tony Keenan (born 6 May 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

Keenan, from Eltham College, captained the 1981 Victorian Teal Cup team, which featured future greats Dermott Brereton, Gary Pert and Paul Salmon.[3] A ruckman and key position player, Keenan played three VFL games for Collingwood, two in 1982 and one in 1984.[4] He was traded to Melbourne midway through the 1984 season, in return for fellow ruckman Glenn McLean, but suffered a knee injury before joining his new club and didn't play for the rest of the year.[3] The following season he was again on the sidelines after dislocating a shoulder and undergoing reconstructive surgery.[5] He left Melbourne without playing a senior game and then had stints at Preston, Bulleen-Templestowe and Norwood.[3]
