Keith Rowland (born Portadown, Northern Ireland, 1 September 1971) is a former footballer who played as a defender with Bournemouth, Coventry City, West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers, Luton Town, Chesterfield Barnet, Hornchurch, Redbridge and Welling United.
He also represented Northern Ireland, winning 19 caps. He currently manages Wingate & Finchley.
Rowland was signed by Bournemouth manager Harry Redknapp making his league debut appearance against Darlington on 17 August 1991. He had two loan spells away from The Cherries at Farnborough Town and at Coventry City where he made two substitute appearances.
In the summer of 1993, with Redknapp now assistant manager to Billy Bonds at West Ham, Rowland, was signed for £110,000 alongside midfielder Paul Mitchell. Rowland played 91 games in all competitions for West Ham, scoring only one goal, in a 1–1 away draw against Newcastle United in November 1996. He found his first team opportunities limited in his time at West Ham due to injury and the form of first team regulars Julian Dicks and David Burrows.
