Kenneth Frederick Keltner (October 31, 1916 – December 12, 1991) was an American professional baseball player. He played as a third baseman in Major League Baseball, most notably as a seven-time All-Star player for the Cleveland Indians with whom he won a World Series championship in 1948. He also played for the Boston Red Sox. Keltner was notable for being one of the best fielding third basemen in the 1940s and for helping to end Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak on July 17, 1941.
