Keith Buchanan (born 11 May 1973) is a Unionist politician from Northern Ireland representing the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). He serves as the party's Chief Whip in the Northern Ireland Assembly as well as its spokesperson for Cultural Development and Loyal Order and Groups Engagement.
Buchanan was elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Mid Ulster in 2016.
In November 2021, he was called "disgraceful" by a fellow MLA for attempting to link the Gaelic Athletic Association to dissident Irish republicans. SDLP MLA Justin McNulty accused Buchanan of "stirring up the pot of sectarian tensions".
