Liam Foran (born 25 April 1988 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a semi-professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Cessnock Goannas in the Newcastle Rugby League Competition in Newcastle, Australia. He plays as a half-back or five-eighth. He is the brother of NRL player Kieran Foran.

Foran played his junior football at the Ellerslie Eagles Rugby League Football Club in the Auckland Rugby League competition. Foran went to Ellerslie Primary School before moving over to Sydney. He moved to St Ives on the North Shore of Sydney, where he attended St Ives North Public School with fellow future National Rugby League player Mitchell Pearce. In 2001 he began high school at Marist College North Shore. He also represented the North Sydney Bears junior sides before signing with Melbourne in 2007. While attending Marist College North Shore, Foran played for the school competition representative squad, MCC (Metropolitan Catholic Colleges), leading him to NSW CCC (New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges) and eventually Australian Schoolboys team which toured England and France in 2006. During the tour he surprised some by stating his desire to replace Stacey Jones as New Zealand's long-term halfback. One year later, in 2007, he made the Junior Kiwis squad and played a key part in the team defeating the Junior Kangaroos.
