Keith Alan Hough{{pron}} (17 March 1908 – 13 July 1958){{Cite web|title=Australian Football - Keith Hough - Player Bio|url=https://australianfootball.com/players/player/keith+hough/15655|access-date=2020-07-12|website=australianfootball.com}} was an Australian rules footballer who played 120 games for Claremont in the West Australian National Football League (WANFL) during the late 1920s and 1930s.{{Cite web|title=Keith Hough – Claremont Football Club History|url=https://www.claremontfchistory.com.au/archives/archive/k-hough|access-date=2020-07-12|language=en-US}} He missed the 1931 season because South Melbourne signed him, but the WANFL consistently refused to clear him."Football Transfer: Agitation over Keith Hough"; Daily News, 8 July 1931, p. 3

A half back flanker from Bunbury, Hough made his league debut in the 1928 season with Claremont, who at the time were called Claremont-Cottesloe. He won the first of his two best and fairest awards that year and took out the other in the 1932 WANFL season, the same season he became Claremont's first Sandover Medallist with what was then a record number of votes. Hough had come close to winning the Sandover two years earlier when he finished second to Ted Flemming.Casey, Kevin (1995); The Tigers' Tale: the origins and history of the Claremont Football Club; Claremont Football Club; p. 26. {{ISBN|0646264982}}
