Keith Deller, born on 24 December 1959 in Ipswich, is an English former professional darts player best known for winning the 1983 BDO World Darts Championship. He was the first qualifier ever to win the World Darts Championship and remains one of the youngest champions in the history of the event. He also won the British Professional Championship in 1987. For his world title run he used 18 gram spring-loaded darts, which were later banned for tournament play but are now legal again. He had to come through qualifying to reach the main draw of that tournament, which makes his win unusual among world champions.
