Dara Ó Cinnéide (born 25 April 1975 in Dublin) is an Irish former sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club An Ghaeltacht and was a member of the Kerry senior inter-county team from 1995 until 2005. Ó Cinnéide captained Kerry to the All-Ireland title in 2004.
Dara Ó Cinnéide was born in Dublin in 1975, but grew up near An Daingean, County Kerry. A native Irish-speaker, he was educated at the local national school and later attended Dingle CBS. Ó Cinnéide currently works as a radio broadcaster with the Irish-language station RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, where he produces the daily afternoon show An Saol Ó Dheas, and he also presents the main weekly GAA show Seó Spóirt on the Irish-language channel TG4. He also writes a Gaelic football column for the Irish Examiner and is a regular panellist on RTÉ's premier Gaelic games programme, The Sunday Game.
Ó Cinnéide played his club football with his local club called an Ghaeltacht and enjoyed much success during his career. He first came to prominence with the club at underage levels, however, he enjoyed little success in these grades.
In 2000 an Ghaeltacht reached the final of the county senior championship for the very first time. Ó Cinnéide's side were the red-hot favourites going into the match, however, all did not go as planned as Dr. Crokes took charge. A hard-fought 1–4 to 0–6 score line resulted in defeat for an Ghaeltacht.
