Keith Lawley Gibbs (born 30 December 1933) is a former South African cricketer who played first-class cricket for Orange Free State from 1951 to 1954 and for Transvaal from 1956 to 1960.

Keith Gibbs was a right-arm opening bowler who was a consistent wicket-taker in South African domestic cricket in the 1950s. He twice played for a South African XI against touring teams – against MCC in 1956–57 and the Australians in 1957–58 – but was not selected in the Test team. He took his best figures of 5 for 79 and 3 for 20 when Orange Free State beat Eastern Province in the Currie Cup in 1952–53.[1]
