Arnold Joost van Keppel, 1st Earl of Albemarle (January 1670 – 30 May 1718) was a Dutch States Army officer and nobleman who fought for William III of England and became the first Earl of Albemarle. He had a very close relationship with William and proved a capable cavalry commander. In the latter stages of the War of the Spanish Succession he sometimes assumed Dutch supreme command in absence of Claude Frédéric t'Serclaes, Count of Tilly.
