Keith Wenning (born February 14, 1991) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Ball State.
Wenning lettered in baseball, basketball and football at Coldwater High School. His senior year, he set the Coldwater High School single-season records for most passing yards in a season (3,699) and most touchdown passes in a season (40).

In that game, Wenning set the Ohio state championship game records for completed passes (40) and passing yards (414).
Wenning played in all 12 games and started in the final 10 games of his freshman year under then head coach Stan Parrish. His first collegiate start came on September 18 against Purdue; the Cardinals would lose 24–13. This game was followed by another Big Ten matchup against #18 ranked Iowa. The Cardinals would finish the 2010 season at 4–8, leading to the dismissal of head coach Stan Parrish.
