Keith Eric Gudsell (19 October 1924 – 7 July 2007) was a New Zealand rugby union footballer who played for both the country of his birth and Australia. A midfield back, Gudsell represented Manawatu, Wanganui and Waikato at a provincial level in New Zealand, and New South Wales at state level in Australia. He was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1949 tour of South Africa, appearing in six matches but no internationals. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science from Massey Agricultural College in 1949, Gudsell then studied veterinary science at the University of Sydney, graduating in 1954. During this time he played three tests for Australia against the touring All Blacks in 1951.
