Keig (/kiːɡ/ KEEG) is a village within the local government area of Aberdeenshire Council in the North East of Scotland and is located within the Marr area of Aberdeenshire.

Keig is 3 miles (4.8 km)s from Alford.

Keig is at the crossroads of the B992 road which connects the village to Insch, and is near the village of Whitehouse, which itself is near the main road from Aberdeen to Alford on the A944.

Keig is a village which has a Primary School (Keig Primary School), and it is within the catchment area for Alford Academy, the nearest Secondary School.

Keig has a Church of Scotland church, which is a church included in the Howe Trinity Parish (which also includes Alford and Tullynessle and Forbes).

Keig Parish Church is set in the grounds of a churchyard, which continues to be the final resting place for many who have family ties (or indeed other connections) with the area. The church was saved from being sold off as a private dwelling in the early 2000s (decade), thanks to a group, the Friends of Keig Kirk, which supports the church to this day.
