Ensign Keith Craig was a Human Starfleet officer assigned to the USS Sutherland during the late 2360s.

In 2368, he was the flight control officer when the ship participated in building a tachyon detection grid to stop the Romulans from interfering in the Klingon Civil War.

When a radiation leak appeared on three of the Sutherland's lower decks as a result of a failed starboard power coupling, first officer Christopher Hobson began to order Craig to "start bringing the coolant levels down" before he was interrupted by Captain Data, who reissued the same order. (TNG: "Redemption II")

Ensign Craig was played by actor Clifton Jones who received no screen credit for this part though he had dialogue.
He was identified as "Ensign Craig"/"Conn Officer" in script [1] and was also referred to in the script as an "N.D. Crewmember" to which Hobson identified in dialog as both "Mister Craig" and "Keith". His last name was spelled "Krags" in the Blu-ray subtitles.
The name Keith was an in-joke, added by Ronald D. Moore, in reference to one of his brothers, the other brother being "Terry". (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (2nd ed., p. 176))
