Keevil Daly (21 December 1923 – 28 June 2011)[1] was a male weightlifter, who competed in the light heavyweight and middle heavyweight class and who represented British Guiana, and later Canada, at international competitions. He won the silver medal at the 1947 World Weightlifting Championships in the 82.5 kg category.[2]

As a merchant marine, he survived being torpedoed during World War II on the Canadian ship SS Lady Nelson. After the war, Daly became the first black graduate of Ryerson Polytechnical as a Royal Canadian Air Force serviceman.[1]
