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.

Keohane has also been the recipient of many awards off the field. He was named in the full-back position on the Gaelic Athletic Association's Team of the Millennium in 2000, thus cementing is reputation as one of Gaelic football's great players.
