Jim Gavin (born 1 July 1971) is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. He has been the manager of the Dublin senior team since 2012, where he has since become one of the county's most successful managers in terms of major titles won. Gavin is regarded as one of the best managers in the modern game.
Raised in Clondalkin, South Dublin, Gavin was introduced to Gaelic football by his father, a native of Clare and former chairman of the local club team in Clondalkin. He developed his skills in the local street leagues before winning a record six Cumann na mBunscoil medals as a dual player with Clonburris National School. Gavin attended and represented Moyle Park College, before later enjoying championship successes at underage levels with the Round Towers club.
Gavin made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Dublin minor team. An All-Ireland runner-up as a non-playing substitute, his subsequent training with the Air Corps ruled him out of any involvement with the under-21 side. Gavin joined the Dublin senior team during the 1992-93 league. He went on to play a key role for Dublin over much of the next decade, and won one All-Ireland medal, three Leinster medals and one National Football League medal. Gavin retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 2002 championship.
