Ryan 'Ricey' McMenamin is a Canadian-born Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Tyrone. McMenamin has won three All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medals, two Ulster Championships and two National League titles with the county. Forging a reputation for being a bit of a bad boy during his career, he was awarded an All Star for his performances in 2005.

McMenamin plays his club football for St. Dympna's Dromore and has won two Tyrone Senior Football Championships with the club.

Despite normally starting at corner back for his county, he is not a traditional corner back, often running with the ball up the pitch, and getting himself into scoring positions. However, his marking is among the best in the country, and often marks the opposition's leading scorers. He also plays at centre half back for his club.

In 2003 McMenamin helped Tyrone win the county's first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Two years later he won a second All-Ireland medal with Tyrone, and received an All Star award for his performances that year. In 2006, he captained the much-depleted side due to injury to the captain, Brian Dooher. The side were knocked out of the Championship by Laois in July. In 2008, he won a third All-Ireland with Tyrone. In the winter of 2012, McMenamin retired from Inter-county football and is no longer with the Tyrone senior setup.
