Colm O'Neill (born 22 September 1988) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays as a right corner-forward for the Cork senior team.
O'Neill made his first appearance for the team during the 2009 championship and quickly became a regular member of the starting fifteen. Since then he has won one All-Ireland medals, two Munster medals, two National League medals and one All-Star award. O'Neill has been an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level O'Neill has won divisional football medals with Ballyclough.
O'Neill plays his club football with his local club called Ballyclough.
O'Neill first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team in 2005. He made his debut as a substitute in the first round of the provincial championship against Limerick. Cork narrowly won that game and later qualified for a Munster final showdown with Kerry. By that stage of the championship O'Neill had established himself as a key member of the starting fifteen. In an exciting game he ended up as Cork's top scorer with 2–3 and was a large factor in the 3–8 to 1–11 victory. It was also his first Munster minor winners' medal. Cork, however, were surprisingly defeated by Offaly in the subsequent All-Ireland quarter-final. and a point, Cork's defence of their provincial minor title ended with a semi-final defeat by Tipperary. That same year O'Neill was drafted onto the Cork under-21 football team. He came on as a substitute in the Munster semi-final victory over Clare, however, he played no part in the subsequent Munster final triumph and All-Ireland semi-final defeat.
