Keith Trevillian Rawle (29 October 1924 – 6 March 2005) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s. He was the son of former North Melbourne and Essendon footballer George Rawle.

Rawle usually played as a forward pocket and had two stints with the Bombers. He was a member of Essendon premiership teams in 1946 and again in 1949 when he kicked three goals in what would be his last ever game. He also played in three losing Grand Final sides, all of which were close games. In 1943 his team lost to Richmond by five points, in 1947 they were defeated by a point to Carlton and in 1948 Essendon lost a Grand Final replay to Melbourne after drawing the original game.

In 1948 he played a first-class cricket match for Victoria against Tasmania in Hobart and made 10 runs.[2]
