Keith Wilson Wilcox (May 15, 1921 – December 16, 2011) was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1984 to 1989. He was also a prominent architect who designed the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah and the Washington D.C. Temple. He also served one term in the Utah House of Representatives.

Wilcox was born in Hyrum, Utah but spent most of his life in Ogden, Utah. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. He began his college studies at what is now Weber State University and received a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Utah.

In the LDS Church, Wilcox served as a bishop, stake president and regional representative. From 1974 to 1977, he was president of the church's Indiana Indianapolis Mission.
