Ross O'Hanley (February 2, 1939 – April 7, 1972) was an American football safety with the Boston Patriots of the American Football League from 1960 to 1965. He was an All-League AFL player in 1960.

O'Hanley was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the 1966 AFL expansion draft but never played a game for them. He suffered a severe thigh bruise during the preseason and missed the 1966 season, and was cut and retired before the 1967 season.[1]

After his football playing days, O'Hanley first turned to coaching. O'Hanley coached the Lowell/Quincy Giants of the Atlantic Coast Football League (ACFL) from 1968 to 1969.[2]

After coaching, he worked as a high school math teacher and as aide in the Massachusetts attorney general's office, before being struck by a brain tumor in 1971.[1]
