Keekle is a hamlet in Cumberland, on the River Keekle (a tributary of the River Ehen, which it joins two miles south of the hamlet), perched between Whitehaven to the north-west and Cleator Moor to the south-east, on the B5295.

A railway line used to run through between the towns, and crossed the River Keekle here on the extant Keekle Viaduct.
