Keith Greene (born 5 January 1938) is a British former racing driver from England. He raced in Formula One from 1959 to 1962, participating in six World Championship Grands Prix and numerous non-Championship races.[1]

Prior to Formula One, Greene had a successful career in sportscars. In 1956 using a Cooper T39 he competed in 11 national level races finishing outside the top six on only one occasion, with two wins and three other podium finishes.[2]

After retiring from driving, Greene became a team manager in Formula One and sports car racing. He worked for Hexagon of Highgate in London running their newly formed motorcycle business in the late 1970s. At that time he also managed Alain de Cadenet's Le Mans racing team.
