Lee Keegan (born 25 October 1989 in Westport) is a Gaelic footballer for the Mayo senior team and also plays club football for Westport GAA.
Keegan started at right half back in two All-Ireland football finals: the 2012 decider, which Mayo lost by 0-13 to 2-11 against Donegal and the 2013 decider, which Mayo lost by 1-14 to 2-12 against Dublin. He was named in the 2012 All Star football team in the right half back position. During the 2013 All-Ireland final he was memorably manhandled on the field by Diarmuid Connolly, who attempted to wrench his shirt off but was unsuccessful. He has been an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship runner up on three occasions, in 2012, 2013 and 2016. Keegan played twice for Ireland against Australia in the 2013 International Rules Series.
In November 2016, Keegan was named as the All Stars Footballer of the Year for 2016, and also picked up his fourth All Star award.
In February 2017, Keegan won an All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship title with Westport GAA when they beat Meath side St. Colmcilles by 2-12 to 3-08.
