Keisuke Honda (本田 圭佑, Honda Keisuke, born 13 June 1986) is a Japanese professional footballer and manager who plays as a midfielder.

A versatile player, Honda usually played as an Attacking midfielder, but could also play as a winger, a false nine or as a deep-lying playmaker, and frequently featured as a right winger for Milan during the 2014–15 season.
