Tadhg Murphy, born 2 November 1956, is an Irish former hurler and Gaelic footballer from Glanmire in County Cork, who played with Glanmire, Sarsfields and Imokilly at club level and for Cork as a dual player. Educated at St Finbarr's College in Cork, he won three successive Harty Cup titles from 1972 to 1974 and captained the college to the Croke Cup in 1974. He played minor hurling and football for Cork in 1973 and won two All-Ireland minor medals in 1974, then captained the Cork under-21 hurlers to the All-Ireland title in 1976.
