Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Шаблон:Infobox GAA player Gerry O'Neill (1927 - 3 August 2010) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a left corner-forward at senior level for the Armagh county team.

Born in Middletown, County Armagh, O'Neill first played competitive Gaelic football during his schooling at St Patrick's Grammar School in Armagh.[1] Here he won back-to-back MacRory Cup medals before winning a Hogan Cup medal in 1946. At club level O'Neill had a lengthy career with Middletown.

O'Neill made his first impression on the inter-county scene as a member of the Armagh junior team. He won an Ulster medal in this grade in 1948; however, an All-Ireland title eluded the team. O'Neill later joined the Armagh senior team, winning his first ulster medal in 1950. He won a second Ulster medal in 1953; however, he ended the year as an All-Ireland runner-up.

In retirement from playing O'Neill became involved in team management and coaching.[2] He was a selector with the Middletown team that won the county junior championship title in 1974.

O'Neill died on 3 August 2010.[3][4]
