Mickey Moran (Irish: Mícheál Ó Moráin) is a former Gaelic footballer and manager, who most recently managed Leitrim. He played for the Derry senior inter-county team in the 1970s and early 1980s, and played his club football for Watty Graham's Glen.
Moran is known to be one of the best trainers / coaches in the game and was part of the managerial backroom staff of Derry's 1993 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship-winning team, as coach of the side.
In his managerial career he has had three stints managing Derry and has also managed Sligo, Donegal, Mayo and Leitrim. He has also been in charge of various club sides and the Jordanstown university team. On 26 November 2011, he retired as Leitrim manager on health grounds.
His son Conleth was on the Derry minor side that won the 2002 Ulster Minor and All-Ireland Minor Championships.
Moran was a very versatile player, evidenced by the fact he started left corner forward on Derry's victorious Ulster Championship team in 1975, and left half back when Derry successfully defended their Ulster title a year later. Moran was part of the Derry team that were beaten by Dublin a point in the 1975–76 National League final.
