Keith Bromage (8 November 1937 – 26 June 2024) was an Australian rules footballer. He played with Collingwood and Fitzroy in his Victorian Football League (VFL) career.

From 1962 to 1965 he was captain-coach of Manuka Football Club in Canberra.[4]
In 1968, while playing for Dimboola, he was the leading goal-kicker for the Wimmera Football League.
Bromage died of brain cancer on 26 June 2024, age the age of 86.[5]
