Séamus Coughlan (1953 - 9 February 2013) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.
Coughlan made his first appearance for the team during the 1973 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1978 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal on the field of play and two Munster medals as a non-playing substitute.
At club level Coughlan enjoyed a lengthy career with Nemo Rangers. He won three All-Ireland medals, five Munster medals and five county club championship medals.
Coughlan played his club hurling and football with the Nemo Rangers club.
In 1972 Coughlan was a member of the Nemo Rangers senior football team that qualified for only their second Cork county championship decider. UCC provided the opposition, however, a 2-9 to 0-8 victory, with Coughlan scoring one of the goals, gave Nemo their first championship medal. Nemo subsequently defeated Doonbeg by 3-9 to 2-5 to take the Munster title. The All-Ireland final that year saw Nemo Rangers face St. Vincent's of Dublin. A 2-11 apiece draw was the result on that occasion, however, the replay saw Nemo win by 4-6 to 0-10. It was Coughlan's first All-Ireland medal.
