Jeffery Lynn Keith (born October 12, 1958 in Texarkana, Arkansas) is an American musician, best known as the lead singer of the band Tesla. He was also the lead singer for the band Bar 7.

Before he became part of Tesla, according to the band history printed in the "Mechanical Resonance" CD notes, he was the driver of a giant mountain cement truck.

He honed his gritty, rough, Steven Tyler-like vocals in Sacramento, California. He then signed up for a local radio contest that he won singing Sammy Hagar's "Your Love is Driving Me Crazy." This caught the attention of Tommy Skeoch, Frank Hannon, Brian Wheat, and Troy Luccketta, who joined to form the rock band Tesla.
