Richard John Keogh (born August 11, 1986 in Harlow) is an Irish footballer for Football League One club Carlisle United for whom he plays as a defender.

He began his career at Stoke City but was released, and joined up with Bristol City before the start of the 2005/2006 campaign. He also rejected a move to Burnley.

In his first season, Brian Tinnion, who had signed Keogh, left the club. He was replaced by Gary Johnson who loaned him to Wycombe Wanderers. He then began to establish himself in city's first team plans and scored against Walsall.

He began the 2006-2007 season with the same form as the previous season, and replaced Bradley Orr after his red card against Northampton Town and later imprisonment. He scored his second City goal against Gillingham.

He later captained the Republic Of Ireland Under 21's in October 2006 and was voted Bristol City's "Young Player of the Year" for the 2006-07 season.

On August 31, 2007, he joined Huddersfield Town on loan and made his debut the following day against Millwall. On September 15, he scored his first goal for Huddersfield in a 3-2 defeat at home to Cheltenham Town at the Galpharm Stadium. He returned to Bristol City on 29 October following Huddersfield's decision not to extend his loan.

On November 19, 2007 he joined Carlisle United on loan. The loan lasted until January 1, 2008, with a recall option after 28 days of the loan period.

On January 4, 2008 he returned to Bristol City after negotiations to extend / make permanent his loan collapsed. On March 10, 2008, he joined League One side Cheltenham Town on loan and made his debut in their 2-1 win over Leeds United at Elland Road the following day.

On August 20, 2008 Keogh returned to Carlisle United on a permanent transfer from Bristol City for an undisclosed sum.
