Keith Magnuson (b. 27 April 1947 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada - d. 15 December 2003) was a professional defenceman who played in the National Hockey League for the Chicago Blackhawks.

He played in 589 games, all with the Blackhawks, collecting a total of 139 points. A reliable element on the Hawks' blue line, he served as team captain from 1976 to 1979. He reached twice the Stanley Cup final, losing both times to the Montreal Canadiens.
