Anthony "Tony" Hanahoe (born 29 April 1945) is an Irish retired Gaelic football manager and former player. His league and championship career with the Dublin senior team spanned sixteen seasons from 1964 to 1979.
Born in Clontarf, Hanahoe excelled at both Gaelic football and hurling in his youth. He was educated at St. Joseph's Secondary School where he first developed his skills in both codes. Hanahoe joined the St. Vincent's club and, after progressing through the juvenile and underage grades, was a regular member of the starting fifteen by 1964. He won the first of eleven county senior championship medals that year, however, the highlight of his club career came in 1976 when he won an All-Ireland medal. Hanahoe also won three Leinster medals before retiring after a two-decade long career.
Hanahoe made his debut on the inter-county scene when he lined out for Dublin as a dual player in the respective minor grades. After little success he made his senior debut in a challenge game in 1964. Over the course of the next fifteen years, Hanahoe won three All-Ireland medals, beginning with a lone triumph in 1974, followed by back-to-back triumphs as captain in 1976 and 1977. He also won six Leinster medals, two National Football League medals and one All Star. He played his last game for Dublin in September 1979.
Hanahone was in the twilight of his career when he was picked for the Leinster inter-provincial team. He ended his career without a Railway Cup medal.
