Mick O'Flanagan (born 29 September 1922 in Dublin) was a former Irish sportsman who represented his country at both soccer and rugby union. As a soccer player, O'Flanagan played for, among others, Home Farm, Bohemians and Belfast Celtic. His older brother, Kevin O'Flanagan, was also a notable sportsman who also represented his country at both sports and played soccer for Bohs and Arsenal. On 30 September 1946 Mick and Kevin also played international soccer together for Ireland against England. A third brother, Charlie O'Flanagan, also played for Bohs.
O'Flanagan played soccer as a youth with several clubs, most notably Home Farm, before joining Bohemians in 1939. He quickly established himself in the first team and was top goalscorer in the League of Ireland for the 1940–41 season, scoring 19 league goals. He also scored 31 times in 31 appearances in all competitions that season. In 1945 O'Flanagan, together with his brother Kevin, was a member of the Bohs team coached by Jimmy Dunne that won the Dublin and Belfast Intercity Cup. He also scored the winning goal in the final against Belfast Celtic at Dalymount Park. In the 1946-47 Leinster Senior Cup final Mick would score an astonishing six goals in an 11-0 win for Bohemians over Grangegorman
