John O'Keeffe (born 1951 in Tralee, County Kerry) is a retired Irish sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club Austin Stack's and was a member of the Kerry senior inter-county team from 1970 until 1982. Though a peerless midfielder, he was regarded as one of the greatest full-backs in football history.

O'Keeffe won 6 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medals and 10 Munstr Championship medals. Other honours include National Football league medals and Railway Cup medals with Munster.

He is among the leading recipients of GAA All Stars Awards, with five awards from 1973, 1975, 1976, 1978 and 1979. He was also named the Texaco Footballer of the Year in 1975.

He was captain of the Austin Stacks team that won the 1976 County Senior Football Championship.

He is now working as a history teacher in The Green C.B.S.
