The following is a list of keytarists. A keytarist is a musician that plays the keytar, a keyboard or synthesizer worn around the neck and shoulders, similar to a guitar. Only notable musicians who are widely noted for their use of the keytar as reported in reliable sources are included.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
