Justin McNulty (born 15 November 1974) is an Irish Gaelic football manager, politician and former player for Armagh, who is now a SDLP MLA.

He played football with his local club Mullaghbawn Cúchullain's in Armagh and was a member of the Armagh senior football team from 1995 to 2005. He won an All-Ireland medal in 2002 playing full back.

The Lislea-born McNulty played for Mullaghbawn alongside his twin brother Paul and their younger brother, Enda. Justin made his senior debut in 1995 in a league game against Louth. Justin won 5 Ulster Championship Medals and in 2002 he captured his first ever All-Ireland medal when Armagh defeated Kerry with the scoreline 1-12 to 0-14. In 2005 McNulty retired from Inter-County football. Management followed soon after and Justin led Mullahoran Dreadnoughts of Cavan to a Senior Championship in 2006.

The following year Justin managed Saint Brigid's Club in Dublin who were narrowly beaten in the 2007 Dublin County Final by St Vincent's who went on to win the All Ireland. In late 2009 he was appointed as one of the selectors of the former Armagh manager Paddy O'Rourke.

In August 2010 after Sean Dempsey resigned McNulty was appointed as the new Laois manager. The first for McNulty proved to be a great success as Laois gained promotion to the top tier despite losing out in the league decider to Donegal.
