John Murphy (1948 to 21 May 2020) was an Irish Gaelic footballer, manager, coach and selector who won All-Ireland titles with Down as both a player and a coach. From the Newry Shamrocks club, he won a MacRory Cup medal with Abbey CBS in 1964 and played midfield for the Down minor team in the 1966 All-Ireland final, which Mayo won. As a forward on the Down senior team he scored a goal in the 1968 All-Ireland final victory over Kerry, after Down had taken the 1967-68 National League. He also won two Railway Cup medals with Ulster and two Ulster Championship titles. Alongside Pete McGrath he was part of the management team behind Down's All-Ireland wins of 1991 and 1994, and he later helped Mayobridge win three consecutive Down county senior championships from 2004 to 2006.
