Kéler Béla also known as Adalbert Paul von Kéler (13 February 1820, Bartfeld, Sáros — 20 November 1882, Wiesbaden) Hungarian composer and conductor.

After dropping out of music school, he worked on a farm where he read a textbook by Johann Georg Albrechtsberger and started practicing the violin. By the time he moved to Vienna, he was good enough to play in the theater orchestra. He studied with Simon Sechter and conducted various orchestras, as well as the band for an Austrian military unit. In the 1870s, Kéler toured all over Europe.

Johannes Brahms based one of his Hungarian Dances on a csárdás by Kéler, while Anton Bruckner copied the instrumentation and form (but not the harmony) of Kéler's "Apollo Marsch" exactly for his own March in E-flat major. (The "Apollo Marsch" was later mistaken for a work of Bruckner's).
