Headley James Keith (25 October 1927 – 17 November 1997) was a South African Test cricketer.

He made his first-class cricket debut for Natal in October 1950 in the Currie Cup against Border as a left-handed batsman,[2] becoming "an important component of the powerful Natal batting line-up" of the time as well as contributing "useful" slow-left arm bowling in domestic cricket.

[3] Keith toured Australia in 1952/53 with the South African national side, making his Test debut in February 1953 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after becoming the first South African to score two centuries in the same match in Australia against Victoria immediately before the Test match on the same ground.

He was described as a "watchful rather than dominant" batsman at Test level, scoring half-centuries against England at Lord's and Headingley.
