Keith Greig (born 23 October 1951) played on the wing for the Australian rules football North Melbourne Football Club from 1971 to 1985. He is considered as one of the most exciting players of the era, earning the nickname "Racehorse" because of his blistering speed on the field.
Greig was recruited from Brunswick in 1971. Greig captained the club from 1976 to 1979, and played a then club record 297 games. He represented Victoria 13 times in the state games, captaining the side once in 1978, and was named an All-Australian in 1983. He won the Brownlow medal twice, in 1973 and 1974.
He is a life member of North Melbourne, and was selected in the AFL's Team of the Century as a wingman. In 1996 Greig was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
