Keith Orlando Herron (born June 14, 1956) is an American former basketball player. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee.[1]

As a 6'7" forward out of Mackin High School in Washington, D.C., he played collegiately at Villanova University.[1] At the end of his college basketball career, he was Villanova's all-time leading scorer for 19 years, a mark that has since been surpassed by Kerry Kittles.[2] Herron was named to Basketball Weekly's All-East team, The Sporting News All-America team, the All-NIT team, and twice to the All-Big Five team. Herron's brothers Larry and Reggie also played for the Villanova Wildcats.[3]
