Kaleb Geiger (born May 4, 1996) is an American international rugby union player.

Geiger is a native of Sedalia, Colorado and was educated at Castle View High School.[1]

A convert to rugby, Geiger had played varsity baseball (first base), football (defensive lineman) and wrestling for Concordia University.[2] He didn't pick up rugby until after college, when at age 24 he was recruited by the American Raptors.[3]

Geiger, mainly a prop and hooker, had two seasons in Major League Rugby with New York-based team Ironworkers, in 2022 and 2023. He made his international debut for the United States in 2023, gaining his first cap against Portugal.[1]
