Daire Kilian Keogh[2] (born July 1964[1]) is an academic historian and third-level educational leader, president of Dublin City University (DCU) since July 2020.

Keogh graduated in history, later taking a PhD while working part-time as a school teacher. He was a lecturer at a number of Irish third-level institutions, and then professor at, and later president (2012–2016) of, Ireland's main teacher training college, St Patrick's, Drumcondra. He has written or edited more than a dozen books in the fields of Irish revolutionary and religious history. After St Patrick's merged fully into DCU he was appointed as the university's deputy president, and after a long search process in 2018 and 2019, he was selected to become DCU's fourth president as of July 14, 2020, for a term of 10 years.[3]
