'''Kenneth "Ken" Keeler''' (born December 2, 1961) is an American television producer and writer. He served as a writer, co-producer, producer and supervising producer for ''[[The Simpsons]]''. He also worked for ''[[Futurama]]'' and ''[[The Critic]]''.
After graduating from St. John's School in Houston, Texas, he studied applied mathematics at Harvard University, graduating summa cum laude in 1983. He earned a Ph.D. in applied mathematics in 1990; his doctoral thesis was on Map Representations and Optimal Encoding for Image Segmentation.

Keeler wrote many of the original songs on both ''The Simpsons'' and ''Futurama'' during his time with the shows. He is also the writer of the now-released direct-to-DVD ''Futurama'' movie ''Bender's Big Score''.
