Ta Keo (ប្រាសាទតាកែវ) is a tribe from Survivor: Cambodia. Their tribe color is green.

In addition to being the physically weaker of the two starting tribes, Ta Keo's poor intertribal dynamics and general bad luck caused the tribe to enter the merge weakened in terms of numbers.

Trivia

• Ta Keo's insignia is based on Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god.
• The correct Khmer pronunciation for Ta Keo is "Tae-Kell" with the Spanish /t/ sounds, however, it was Americanized as "Ta-Kay-o" throughout the season.
• Ta Keo is the second green starting tribe on an all-Returning Players season, following Mogo Mogo in All-Stars. 
• Ta Keo is the first tribe to feature two contestants with homophonic names: Kelley Wentworth and Kelly Wiglesworth.
• Despite only attending Tribal Council three times, Ta Keo would lose six of its original members pre-merge, leaving a 9-4 deficit at the merge against the original Bayon tribe.
• Ta Keo is the third tribe to have no members who remained on the tribe during its entire existence.
  • It was preceded by Maraamu in Marquesas and Mogo Mogo in All-Stars, and would be followed by Nuku in Game Changers and Soko in Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.
  • Every member of post-dissolve Ta Keo had previously switched tribes at the first Tribe Switch.
• If The Outcasts from Pearl Islands are considered to have been an official tribe, Bayon and Ta Keo are the 99th and 100th tribes in Survivor history.
