Jason McGuinness (born 8 August 1982) is an Irish footballer.
McGuinness played at youth level for Tolka Rovers, Sheriff Y.C. and Bohemians before graduating to the Bohs first team, making his league debut as a substitute against UCD in August 2002. He made his Irish Under 21 debut four days later in an international against Finland.
With the likes of Colin Hawkins and Ken Oman in his way of regular first team football, he joined rivals Shamrock Rovers and spent 2 seasons scoring 7 goals in 57 total appearances there where he established himself at the heart of their defence before re-joining Bohs in time for the 2006 season.
McGuinness formed a great partnership with Liam Burns which played a big part in Bohs' great defensive record as they marched to 2008 Premier Division title, winning it by a record breaking 19 points from St Patricks Athletic. Whilst participating in 2008's UEFA Intertoto Cup, he scored in both rounds, against Rhyl and FK Riga.
Jason started the season well but was fined two weeks' wages and suspended for five games in May 2009 after racially abusing Benin captain Romuald Boco during a game between Sligo Rovers and Bohemians on 5 May 2009. On his return, he struggled to find form and lost his place to Ken Oman. He also missed Bohs' EA Sports Cup final win over Waterford United in the September but did pick up his second league winners medal in a row as Bohs finished top of the table ahead of their rivals Shamrock Rovers.
