The realizations of the Lie algebra corresponding to the dynamical symmetry group SO(2, 1) of the Kepler and oscillator potentials are q-deformed. The q-canonical transformation connecting two realizations is given and a general definition for the q-canonical transformation is deduced. A q-Schrodinger equation for a Kepler-like potential is obtained from the q-oscillator Schrodinger equation. The energy spectrum and the ground-state wavefunction are calculated.
