Stephen Derek Keppler (born February 18, 1961) is an American professional golfer.

Keppler was born in London, England. He played college golf at Florida State University, where he was a 3rd-Team All-American.[1] Following his senior season, Keppler played on the 1983 Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team.

He played on the European Tour in 1984 with little success, making only three cuts in 13 events. He later became a club professional at several clubs in Georgia. A four-time winner of the Georgia PGA Championship and two-time winner of the Georgia Open, Keppler had his PGA Tour highlight when he led the 1995 BellSouth Classic after three rounds, only to finish third.[2]

As a senior, Keppler has qualified twice for the U.S. Senior Open.

In 2014 he was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame.[3]
