The Muppet Learning Keys is a keyboard developed by Koala Technologies for young children learning to use a computer. It was available for the Commodore 64 and Apple IIe/IIc computer.

The majority of the software for use with the keyboard was developed by Sunburst Communications. The standard set came with The Muppet Discovery Disk, which offered three activities: 'Discovery', 'Letters' and 'Numbers'. 'Discovery', set on the Muppet Theater stage, allowed children to explore numbers and letters, and featured a number of the characters from The Muppets, while 'Letters' and 'Numbers' were quiz games.

Sunburst Communications produced four additional educational software programs to be used with the Learning Keys: Muppetville, Muppet Word Book, Muppet Slate and Muppet Math. The Sesame Street-themed software Astro-Grover from Hi Tech Expressions was released in a Muppet Learning Keys version. Non-Muppet-themed programs available for the keyboard included Teddy & Iggy, Keytalk, and 1-2-3 Sequence Me.
