Keith Sanderson (9 October 1940 – 24 December 2022) was an English footballer who played as a midfielder for Queens Park Rangers in the 1960s.

Career

Sanderson made his debut for Queens Park Rangers in the 6–1 defeat by local rivals, Brentford, on the opening day of the 1965–66 season after signing from Plymouth Argyle.
