Laurie Keene (born 1 February 1961) is former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the VFL/AFL.

Tall and athletic, Laurie Keene was recruited to West Coast from Subiaco where he had been a member of premiership sides in 1986 and 1988. He could play as a key position forward or in the ruck and had topped Subiaco's goalkicking in 1985 with 70 goals as well as winning their 'Fairest and best' award in 1986.

His career at West Coast was often interrupted by injury but he had a solid debut season with 25 goals, which included a then club record haul of six against Carlton at Princes Park.

Keene returned to Subiaco after his stint at West Coast ended and played with the club until 1995 having amassed 140 games.

At interstate level he was a regular West Australian representative and earned selection to the All-Australian team at the 1986 State of Origin Carnival.
