Edward Linnaeus Keithahn (May 15, 1900 – September 26, 1970) was an American museum curator and the author of a well known book on totem poles, Monuments in Cedar, published in 1945.

[2] He became interested in totem poles at the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition in Seattle in 1909 and later traveled to southeast Alaska and eventually lived there.

He lived and taught in native villages for about 15 years, and became working "in the Indian service," as he put it (meaning perhaps employment with the Bureau of Indian Affairs), living mainly among the Tlingit and Haida people.

He was Curator and Librarian at the Alaska Historical Library and Museum from 1941.
