Sean O'Connor (born 7 July 1981 in Wolverhampton) is an English professional footballer, who plays for Hednesford Town.
After starting his career with local side Hednesford Town, O'Connor moved into the Scottish game with Scottish Premier League side Dundee United. From there he had a couple of loan spells, one with Greenock Morton and the other with Northern Irish side Portadown. Upon leaving the Arabs he had a spell with Queen of the South before heading back to England with Morecambe.
Since leaving Morecambe in 2006, O'Connor has spent his time in the Scottish Football League, with Queen of the South again as well as their near neighbours Annan Athletic.
O'Connor started his career at non-league club Hednesford Town, working his way through the youth system at Keys Park before making his first team debut during the 1998–99 season. His form attracted the attention of a number of clubs, with Dundee United paying £30,000 for him in January 2000, despite O'Connor only playing in 14 matches for the Pitmen. His chances at Tannadice were limited to only a handful of appearances and he was sent out on loan to gain first team experience elsewhere. After a short spell in Ireland playing for Portadown, he came back to Scotland to have a similar spell with Morton. Before these loan spells he scored his first and only goal for Dundee United in a 3-2 win over Dunfermline.
While O'Connor was on loan at Morton, he played in a remarkable match against his future club Queen of the South, at Palmerston on 26 February 2002. This game alerted O'Connor to Queens attention, so much so that the club signed him the following month.
