Miles O'Keeffe is an American film and television actor. O'Keeffe got his first big break playing the title role in the 1981 version of Tarzan, the Ape Man.

Although O'Keeffe is known for his big break as Tarzan, he is also remembered for his performances in the title role of the first three Ator sword and sorcery films produced in Europe in the 1980s. The series gained attention in 1991 after a re-edited version of the second installment, released as Cave Dwellers, was lampooned on the television series Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). The episode, which soon became immensely popular among fans, included one of the most-quoted quips in the show's history: "How much Keeffe is in this movie anyway?" "Miles O'Keeffe!" Unlike some of MST3K's subjects (such as Sandy Frank), O'Keeffe is considered to be a "good sport" and is a fan of the series. He enjoyed the MST3K treatment of the film so much that he requested a copy of the episode.

O'Keeffe gained cult status in the UK between 1999 and 2002 as a result of being targeted by chat show host Graham Norton for prank calls, eventually appearing on the show So Graham Norton to great acclaim.
