Éamonn Fitzmaurice is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. He has been the manager of the Kerry senior team since 2012.

Born in Lixnaw, County Kerry, Fitzmaurice was introduced to Gaelic football in his youth. He enjoyed some success at schools' level with Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí while simultaneously enjoying championship successes at underage levels with the Finuge club. An All-Ireland medal winner in the intermediate grade, Fitzmaurice has a unique collection of Kerry novice, junior, intermediate and senior medals with the Finuge club and the Feale Rangers divisional side. As a dual player he also won three championship medals with the Lixnaw senior hurling team.

Fitzmaurice made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Kerry minor team. An All-Ireland medal winner as a non-playing substitute in this grade, he later won two All-Ireland medals with the under-21 team. Fitzmaurice made his senior debut during the 1996-97 league. He went on to play a key role for Kerry in defence during a hugely successful era, and won three All-Ireland medals, six Munster medals and two National Football League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
