Boonyarit Keattikun (born 5 October 1995 in Nakhon Nayok, Thailand) is a Thai snooker player. He is the current Under-21 World Snooker Champion.
In 2015 Keattikun entered the World Under-21 Snooker Championships in Bucharest as the number 1 seed. Keattikun went on to reach the final and defeated Jamie Rhys Clarke 8–7 to win the championship, as a result he was given a two-year card on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons. He lost his first eight matches of the 2016/17 season, before beating Scott Donaldson 5–3 in German Masters qualifying. Keattikun lost 5–3 to Anthony Hamilton in the next round. His only other victory this year was at the Welsh Open, where he defeated 1997 world champion Ken Doherty 4–1, before losing by a reversal of this scoreline to Mark Allen.
