Standish Michael "Stan" Keon (2 July 1915 � 22 January 1987) was an Australian politician who represented the Australian Labor Party in the Federal Parliament from 1949 to 1955 (having served previously in the State Parliament of Victoria), and who helped establish the Democratic Labor Party.

Keon won the House of Representatives seat of Yarra at the 1949 election, succeeding former Prime Minister (and fellow Catholic) James Scullin.

An effective, often abrasive, performer in parliament, Keon was widely thought to be a future Prime Minister. In 1955, he and six other Victorian federal members were expelled from the Labor Party as members of the Industrial Groups. In April 1955, they established the Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist), which was renamed the Democratic Labor Party in 1957. He was beaten by the Labor candidate, Jim Cairns at the 1955 election; and his subsequent attempts to vanquish Cairns were unsuccessful. After losing his parliamentary seat, he had a spectacular falling-out with his erstwhile ally (and DLP éminence grise) B. A. Santamaria.
