Timothy "Tim" Houlihan (born 10 February 1989) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL), and also for East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) and South Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
Born in Harrow in country Victoria, Houlihan moved to South Australia with his mother after his parents split, and played for Goolwa and Encounter Bay/Port Elliot in South Australia's Great Southern Football League. He and his mother, a nurse, later moved to Kaltjiti (Fregon), a community in the APY lands in the state's far north, before finally returning to Victoria, where he played for Harrow Balmoral in the Horsham & District Football League. He was also a talented junior distance runner, winning the 1500m and 3000m races at the 2005 national championships. Playing for the North Ballarat Rebels in the under-18 TAC Cup, Houlihan recorded the best times in the beep test and 3km time trial at the 2006 AFL Draft Camp, and was subsequently selected by West Coast with pick 43 in the 2006 National Draft.
