''Keziah Dane'' is a 1967 novel by Sue Grafton. A work of mainstream fiction, this novel was published by Grafton when she was 27 years old.

Originally written under the title ''The Seventh Day of Keziah Dane'', Grafton entered the unpublished novel in an Anglo-American Book Award contest. The novel did not win, but it drew a publication offer from a British publisher which Grafton used to get an agent who got the book an American publisher, Macmillan.〔 ==Plot summary== Keziah Dane is a widow who lives "on the brink of poverty" with her children in a small Kentucky town.
