Keeline is an unincorporated community in Niobrara County, Wyoming, United States. It sits about 5,305 feet above sea level. A post office operated from 1908 to 1995. The town was named after cattleman George A. Keeline.

Keeline began to develop around the local railway depot in 1910, after Addison Spaugh encouraged businesses to settle nearby. Early shops included a barber, a lumberyard, a dining hall, a car dealership, a hardware store, and a school. A local newspaper, the Keeline Record, ran from 1916 to 1923. At its peak, Keeline may have had up to 440 residents; by 1940 about 101 people remained.

Today, only a few people live in the townsite, and many buildings are abandoned. The community is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST in winter, MDT in summer).
