Keith Derek Lawrence (born 25 March 1954) is an English retired professional football centre back who played in the Football League for Brentford.
A centre back, Lawrence began his career as an apprentice at Chelsea, but was released in 1974 without making a senior appearance.
Lawrence joined Second Division club West Bromwich Albion on loan in January 1974, but failed to make an appearance during four months at The Hawthorns.
Lawrence signed for Division Four side Brentford in May 1974. He had two good seasons at Griffin Park, making 89 appearances and scoring two goals before being surprisingly released by manager John Docherty.
After his release from Brentford, Lawrence dropped into non-league football and appeared for Wealdstone, Bromley, Tonbridge and Brading Town.
After retiring from football, Lawrence joined the police force.
