Keith Adam Van Horn (born October 23 1975, in Fullerton, California) is an American basketball player who is under contract with the New Jersey Nets. Van Horn graduated from Diamond Bar High School and played for the University of Utah. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second pick in the 1997 NBA Draft.

Van Horn has been a member of the New Jersey Nets (twice), the Philadelphia 76ers, the New York Knicks, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Dallas Mavericks. His best season as a pro came in his 2nd year in the league, when he put up a career high 21.8 scoring average as well as 8.5 rebounds per game. In his career, he has been a member of two runner-up teams: the 2002 Nets and the 2006 Mavericks. Following that season, he took a year off, in order to spend time with his family. In February 2008, Van Horn signed a three-year deal with the Mavericks with only the first year guaranteed. That first year would earn him 4.3 million for less than half a season of work. Van Horn was immediately traded to the Nets, part of a blockbuster trade for Jason Kidd. However, it is highly unlikely that Van Horn will get any playing time, as he was involved almost entirely to facilitate the financial aspects of the trade. Van Horn appeared on the cover of the NBA Jam 99 Video Game.

Among Van Horn's collegial accomplishments is being the first player in the Mountain West Conference to be named Player of the Year three times (1995, '96, '97), being the second player in MWC history to make first-team all-MWC four years, and being the leading career scorer in Utah and MWC history with 2,542 points. In February 2008, he was among 16 players named to the University of Utah's "All-Century" basketball team.

Accessed September 9, 2008. "Marbury, a Brooklyn native, seems to have a strong enough personality to endure being close to home, and Van Horn is content living with his wife and two children in Franklin Lakes, N.J."]
