Richard John Keogh (born 11 August 1986) is a former professional footballer who played as a defender.

He formerly represented the Republic of Ireland national team. His main positional role was at centre-back, though he also played at right-back during his career.

Keogh began his career as a trainee at Ipswich Town and Stoke City, making his professional debut on loan from the latter at Icelandic club Víkingur in 2004. He joined Bristol City on a free transfer in 2005 and made his Football League debut in September of that year. He made several more appearances that season before spending a month on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, then going on to appear sporadically for Bristol City at the end of the season, scoring his first goal in April 2006. Keogh was a regular in the first team the following season, playing 43 times in all competitions and scoring four goals. However, he found himself out of favour in the 2007–08 season, spending time out on loan at Huddersfield Town, Carlisle United and Cheltenham Town. At the end of the season, he joined Carlisle United for an undisclosed fee.

Keogh was a first-team regular for Carlisle, playing 95 times and scoring six goals in all competitions for the Cumbrians over two seasons and also a short loan spell. He also won the club's Player of the Year Award for the 2009–10 season. At the end of the season, he joined Coventry City on a free transfer and was again a near ever-present, playing 95 league and cup matches across two seasons, scoring one goal. Keogh was named the Player of the Year for the 2011–12 season, although the club was relegated from the Championship.

He remained in the Championship by signing for Derby County in July 2012 for a fee of over £1 million. He played 356 matches for Derby over eight seasons, winning the club's Player of the Year Award twice (in 2012–13 and 2015–16) and the Players' Player of the Year Award on three occasions (2012–13, 2015–16 and 2018–19). He was named in the 2014–15 PFA Team of the Year. He also achieved three playoff finishes with the Rams. Following his departure from Derby, he signed for Milton Keynes Dons in August 2020 before joining Huddersfield Town in January 2021. After one season with Blackpool, he returned to Ipswich Town briefly, then joined Wycombe Wanderers. He ended his playing career at Forest Green Rovers in EFL League Two after the 2023–24 season.

Although Keogh was born in England, his paternal family is Irish. He represented the Republic of Ireland at under-19, under-21 and senior level.
