Keefe Brasselle (February 7, 1923 – July 7, 1981) was an American film actor, television actor/producer, and author. He is best remembered for the starring role in The Eddie Cantor Story (1953). Brasselle had a close friendship with the CBS executive James T. Aubrey, but he insisted on Aubrey's total support. He was known to be very demanding in his relationship with Aubrey. There were rumors that Aubrey had no choice in approving the Brasselle projects due to threats from the Mafia, with which Brasselle was known to be connected.
