Keith Leon Potger (born 21 March 1941) is one of the founding members of the Australian pop-folk group the Seekers.
He was born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and is of Burgher descent.
In the Seekers, he played twelve string guitar (a 1967 Maton Special SS200/12), mandolin and banjo and sang.
He has been the vocal, and often instrumental, arranger for the group throughout its career.
Potger contributed the song "All I Can Remember" on the Seekers last 1960s studio album, Seekers Seen in Green, as well as co-writing (under the pseudonym "John Martin") the single "Emerald City".
On the Seekers' first 1990s studio album Future Road, Potger wrote or co-wrote four songs; "Guardian Angel/Guiding Light", "Circle Of Love", "Forever Isn't Long Enough (For Me)" and "Future Road". Potger was also the co-founder, in 1969, of the contemporary pop group the New Seekers with his business partner David Joseph.
His solo CDs are Secrets of the Heart (2004) Sunday (2007) and Smile Now (2010).
Six songs on Sunday were a collaboration with writer and poet Frank Howson. He appeared as a guest panelist on Spicks and Specks on 12 September 2007. Much of the recent past has been taken up with performing concert tours with the Seekers in Australia and the United Kingdom.
In addition, Potger has performed solo concerts throughout Australia and the UK and continues this activity with bookings into 2019.
