Patrick Radden Keefe (born 1976) is an American non-fiction writer.

Keefe grew up in Dorchester, Massachusetts and attended Columbia University. His first book, Chatter: Dispatches from the Secret World of Global Eavesdropping (Random House, 2005), was published while he was a student at Yale Law School.[1] His second book, The Snakehead: An Epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream (Doubleday, 2009), grew out of a 2006 article for The New Yorker magazine about the Golden Venture incident and the Chinese human smuggler Cheng Chui Ping ("Sister Ping").[2][3]

In 2006, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for his research on illicit networks.[4] He has also been a fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library.[5]

Keefe is a frequent contributor to Slate and The New Yorker. He has also written for The New York Review of Books and the Op-Ed Page of the New York Times. He is a fellow at the Century Foundation, a public policy think tank, where his research focuses on foreign policy, national security, and the rule of law.[6] His writing often focuses on legal issues, but he also writes about movies, television, and books for Slate.[7][8]
