Keith Baskin (born 15 December 1945) is a former Australian rules footballer who represented South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1960s and 1970s. He is one of few Jewish Australian rules footballers to have played at the top level.[1]

A centreman recruited from Moorabbin in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), Baskin joined South in 1964, but only stayed the one season before going to Myrtleford in the Ovens & Murray Football League.

He returned to South in 1967 and came third in the best and fairest count the following season.

In 1974 he spent a season as coach of VFA club Mordialloc.[2]
