Jacques Keyser (12 October 1885 – 21 March 1954) was a middle-distance runner. Born in Paris, he was the son of a Dutch father and Belgian mother, and could compete for both France and the Netherlands.[3] Keyser took part in the International Cross Country Championships in 1907 and 1911–1913 and won individual and team medals in 1913; his teams placed fourth in other three championships. He competed for the Netherlands at the 1908 Summer Olympics, but failed to reach the finals of the 1500 m and 5 mile races. Between 1910 and 1912 he broke the Dutch national records on the 1500 m (4.11,8), the mile (4.31,4), and the 5000 m (16.10,2), each remaining a record for over a decade.[4][5]
