Noel O'Leary (born 5 May 1982) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a left wing-back for the Cork senior team.
Born in Kilnamartyra, County Cork, O Leary arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 and junior sides. He made his debut in the 2000 National Football League. O'Leary went on to play a key part for over a decade, and won one All-Ireland medal, one Munster medal and three National Football League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
O'Leary represented the Munster inter-provincial team on one occasion, when he captained the team in an unsuccessful campaign. At club level he plays with Cill na Martra.
Throughout his career, O'Leary made 42 championship appearances for Cork. He announced his retirement from inter-county football on 17 October 2013.
O'Leary plays his local club football with his local club in Cill na Martra and has enjoyed some success.
In 2002 O'Leary enjoyed his first major success with Cill na Martra when he captured a divisional junior football championship winners' medal following a 2–10 to 1–9 victory over Grenagh.
2003 saw Cill na Martra reach the divisional final for the second year in succession. Ballingeary provided the opposition, however, their near neighbours could not match Cill na Martra's skill. A 0–12 to 1–7 score line gave O'Leary a second divisional winners' medal. Cill na Martra later represented their division in the county junior championship. They reached the final that year and lined out against Carbery Rangers. A 0–10 to 0–5 score line resulted in defeat for O'Leary's side.
