Keszthely [IPA|ˈkɛsthɛj] ( _hr. Kestel, Monoštor) is a Hungarian town of 23,000 inhabitants located on the western shore of Lake Balaton.

Though settled since at least Roman times (the "Keszthely culture" of Romance pannonian language), the first historical evidence of the town Keszthely dates from a 1247 document. Since 1421, Keszthely has been a market town.

Of interest to sightseers are Festetics Palace, built 1745, and the Balaton Museum, displaying geological and archaeological exhibitions.

The Faculty for Agriculture of University of Pannonia is located in Keszthely.
