Niall Creedon (born 1961) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer. His league and championship career with the Cork senior team spanned three seasons from 1987 to 1999.[1]

Born in Cork, Creedon first played competitive Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Nemo Rangers club before eventually joining the senior team.
