Keith Doncon is a former Australian rules footballer who played for East Perth in the WANFL during the 1960s.
Doncon first played with East Perth in 1963 but returned to his country home the following season due to homesickness. He made his way back to the club in 1965 and had a good career before injuries received in a farm accident forced into premature retirement at the age of just 25.
A rover, he averaged nearly two goals a game as he was handy around goals when he rested in the forward pockets. He made six interstate appearances and kicked 13 goals for Western Australia, forming a combination in the ruck with Barry Cable and Bill Walker. His performances at the 1966 Hobart Carnival saw him selected in the All-Australian team.
He was named as a forward in East Perth's official 'Team of the Century 1945 to 2005'.
