Denis Coughlan (born 7 June 1945) is a notable Irish dual player. Born in County Cork, he played hurling and football with his local clubs Glen Rovers and St. Nicholas' respectively. Coughlan also played hurling and football with the Cork senior inter-county teams. He is regarded as one of Cork’s greatest dual players.
Coughlan played his club hurling with the Glen Rovers club on the north side of Cork city. He played his club football with the Glen’s sister club St. Nicholas'. Coughlan first tasted success in 1964 when he won his first senior county hurling title. One of his colleagues on that team was the legendary Christy Ring. Coughlan later went on to win a Munster club hurling title that year. In 1965 he won a county football title with St. Nick’s. Coughlan captured a successive county football title in 1966, before later going on to win a Munster club football medal. The rest of the 1960s saw Coughlan add two more county hurling titles to his collection in 1967 and 1969. In 1972 Coughlan won a fourth county hurling title. This was later converted into a second Munster club title. ‘The Glen’ later qualified for the All-Ireland club final. The game wasn’t played until December 1973 because of a dispute, however, Glen Rovers defeated St. Rynagh's of Offaly giving Coughlan an All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship medal. Three years later in 1976 he won his fifth and final county hurling title. Coughlan subsequently added a third Munster club title to his collection before collecting a second All-Ireland club hurling medal following a victory over Camross of Laois.
