Frederick Paul Keppel (July 2, 1875 – September 8, 1943)[1][2] was an American educator and executive in the field of philanthropy.

Keppel's annual reports at the Carnegie Corporation constitute an important contribution to the discussion of foundation policy.

During his presidency from 1922 to 1941, the Carnegie Corporation appropriated $86,000,000[5] to universities, colleges, museums, libraries, and scientific and educational studies.

[7] In 1941, Keppel retired from his role as president of the Carnegie Corporation to become the vice-president of the American Philosophical Society.
