Harold Kefauver Keller (July 7, 1927 – June 5, 2012) was an American professional baseball player and executive.
During an eight-season pro playing career, Keller appeared as a catcher in 25 games for the Washington Senators of Major League Baseball between 1949 and 1952. Keller, a left-handed batter, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg). His 11 big-league hits included five doubles and one home run, a two-run shot hit at Fenway Park off James Atkins of the Boston Red Sox on September 29, 1950.
He went on to serve in front-office positions with the expansion Senators/Texas Rangers (from 1961 to 1962 and from 1964 to 1978)—he was the club's first and long-time farm system director—and Seattle Mariners (1979–85). He served as the Mariners' Vice President, Baseball Operations/General Manager from 1983 to 1985. He also scouted for the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and Anaheim Angels.
