Keith Oxlee (17 December 1934 – 31 August 1998) was a South African rugby union player who represented South Africa in 19 tests between 1960 and 1965. He amassed 88 career test points,[1][7] breaking Gerry Brand's 27-year-old South African record and setting one that stood for 20 years until it was surpassed by Naas Botha.[5]

Oxlee set a record for most points scored by a South African player in a test against the British and Irish Lions[5] of 16 (5 conversion and 2 penalty kicks in the 4th test on 25 August 1962) which lasted until 1981.[8] Oxlee was also the first player ever to win 100 caps for Natal.[4]
