Franz Ritter von Keil (September 15, 1862 – November 22, 1945)^[1] was an Austrian naval officer during World War I. He served as Emperor Charles I's senior naval adviser at the close of the war. The position was a sinecure, as the Emperor did not take advice and the navy did not take to sea.^[2]

Von Keil's parents were lieutenant field marshal Heinrich Ritter von Keil and Georgina Maria Brentano (1842–1867). He had one daughter, Herta von Keil Cima (1891–1971).^[3]
