The Dreamcast Keyboard (ドリームキャストキーボード) is a keyboard peripheral built for the Sega Dreamcast. Though keyboards had existed for consoles in the past, the Dreamcast's keyboard was seen as the first "useful" one, thanks to the Dreamcast's internet capabilities. It was also the first console keyboard to be released internationally in large numbers. Many games can be used in conjunction with the Dreamcast Mouse, effectively simulating PC controls for first person shooters.

Like normal PC keyboards, the Dreamcast keyboard varies between countries due to different key placements. Also as with other peripherals, special editions of the keyboard were made with different color schemes, the majority of which never left Japan.
Japanese keyboards are generally smaller in size, lacking a number pad.
Three versions were released in North America. The original keyboard (or "model 1") was designed to match the aesthetics of early Dreamcast packaging. When Sega of America opted to rebrand the console's packaging, a second keyboard ("model 2") was released. The two are mostly identical, however the model 2 keyboard has a black logo with white text and sports a curved space bar. A separate keyboard was released which received SegaNet branding, though is mostly identical to the second model.
In Europe, keyboards were released with British, French, German, Spanish and Italian layouts.
