Xhanfise Keko (27 January 1928 – 22 December 2007), born in Gjirokastër, Albania, was an Albanian film director.
Keko was one of the seven founders of "New Albania" Film Studio (Albanian: Kinostudio "Shqiperia e Re"), present day "Albafilm-Tirana". She was the first female director and directed some 25 different movies between 1952 and 1984 including the 1975 film, Beni Walks by Himself and Tomka and His Friends, both awarded at the Giffoni International Film Festival. Her films were generally targeted toward younger audiences but contemporary critics praise her "sensitive approach to her material, a technical facility outstripping her contemporaries and a highly original voice".[1]
She was the mother of well-known Albanian writer Teodor Keko.
