Keith Morris (born September 17, 1962Fact|date=March 2007) is the co-founder and former lead singer of the punk rock band Black Flag along with guitarist Greg Ginn. He left after the "Nervous Breakdown" EP (on which he was credited as "Johnny 'Bob' Goldstein") and formed The Circle Jerks. After their short-lived breakup he led the band Midget Handjob. He did background vocals on "Operation Rescue", from Bad Religion's 1990 album "Against the Grain".

In 1999, he was diagnosed with adult onset diabetes and many of his friends held benefit concerts to cover his large medical bills. He currently works as an A&R manager at V2 Records while continuing to perform with The Circle Jerks. He is also featured in the Wrangler Brutes song "Driving" (as the voice of God). He also narrated the 2007 Gotham Award-nominated independent film "Loren Cass".
