Michael O'Driscoll, known as Moll O'Driscoll (1922 to February 1988), was an Irish Gaelic footballer from Clonakilty in County Cork who played in goal. At club level he lined out for Clonakilty, which contested six consecutive Cork county finals from 1942 to 1947 and won five of them, and at inter-county level he played for the Cork senior football team. He took over from Dave Roche as first-choice goalkeeper for the opening round of the 1945 Munster Championship and ended that season in goal when Cork beat Cavan in the All-Ireland final. He added a second Munster title in 1949 and a Railway Cup medal with Munster the same year. He emigrated to England in the early 1950s, settled in Cricklewood in North London, and died in 1988.
