Keith J. Rosewarne (born July 18, 1924) was a former Australian rules footballer in the VFL.
Rosewarne debuted with the St Kilda Football Club in 1946, winning the best and fairest award in his first season. As a tough, extremely talented rover, Rosewarne always gave his best and was very tenacious. The great assets of his game were said to be his accurate stab passing and goalkicking ability from any angle. In 92 games with the club, he booted 150 goals and was the shining light in an unsuccessful team.
His retirement came in 1951, some would say prematurely, at the age of only 27.
