Keith David Boyce (11 October, 1943 - 11 October, 1996) played 21 Tests and 8 One Day Internationals for the West Indies in the 1970's, he died from the effects of chronic cirrhosis of the liver while sitting in a chair at a pharmacist in Speightstown, Barbados in 1996.

Boyce was the first man to take eight wickets in a List A match; he achieved the feat when he took 8-26 for Essex against Lancashire in 1971. No other player dismissed eight batsmen in a one-day innings until Kent's Derek Underwood claimed 8-31 against Scotland sixteen years later.
