Keyham is an Edwardian area of Plymouth in the English county of Devon. It was built to provide dense cheap housing just outside the wall of HM Dockyard Devonport for the thousands of civilian workmen. In the mid-19th century, the dockyards were smaller and Keyham was regarded as a distinct location from Devonport itself. It was one of the location for the first trials of the Fairbairn patent crane.
Parts of the southern end are now subject to massive redevelopment using a Regeneration package. It has a railway station.
