Joe O'Connor is a Gaelic footballer. He plays for the Austin Stacks club in midfield and at senior level for the Kerry county team.

Though he never started a game for Kerry, O'Connor was named senior captain for the 2022 season (replacing Paul Murphy), in a year when Kerry won the 2022 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.[1] and was injured.[2][3][4][5] He formerly played rugby with Munster.[6]
