Radwanska took the first-set tiebreaker 7-3, putting pressure on Keys to rebound in the second set.
Tied 3-3, the American found her stroke and eventually closed out the set with an ace - one of 12 in the match, compared to just one for Radwanska.
The two swapped games to start the third, until Radwanska broke the pattern to grab a 4-3 lead. With Keys serving at 30-40, she netted a return to hand her Polish opponent a 5-3 lead and the chance to serve for the win.
Radwanska closed out the final game, securing her spot in the semifinal.
This is the third time the 26-year-old European has reached the final four at Wimbledon. She'll face No. 20 Garbine Muguruza to determine who will head to the Grand Slam final.
Keys hit 48 winners in the loss, while Radwanska totaled 13.
