Jerome O'Shea (1931 to 2018) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a corner-back for St Mary's, South Kerry, Munster and the Kerry senior football team. After winning Dunloe Cup titles with Cahersiveen CBS in 1946 and 1947 he played minor football for Kerry and made his senior championship debut in 1952. He won three All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medals with Kerry, in 1953, 1955 and 1959, the first as a non-playing substitute, together with seven Munster Championship medals and the National Football League title of 1959. He captained Kerry in 1956 and 1957 and led South Kerry to the county final victory of 1955, before retiring from inter-county football after the 1961 All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Down. His son is the rugby union coach Conor O'Shea.
