Keith Hanley (born 15 August 1993) is an Irish singer from Charleville, County Cork and the winner of The Voice of Irelandseries 2 on 28 April 2013.

In week four, he sang "Shackles (Praise You)" and was safe with a judges score of 25. For the Top 10 live show Hanley sang "Get Here" and was sent through to the semi-final by public vote with a judges score of 23. For the semi-final Hanley sang "Crazy" and was sent through to the final. In the final he sang "Jigsaw" (with Ryan Sheridan) and "Beggin'" and was announced as the winner.
