Eoin Reddan (born Limerick, Ireland, 20 November 1980) is an Irish rugby union player who plays at scrum half. He initially attended the Jesuit boarding school, Clongowes Wood, before moving school to Crescent College Comprehensive where he captained the school side. On leaving school he studied at the University of Limerick.

Reddan began playing rugby at 13 years of age with Old Crescent. He earned caps for Munster at both schools and U19 levels. He played in the AIB League with both Old Crescent and Young Munster before signing for Connacht in 2001. He returned to Munster to sign a full-time contract in 2003 and debuted against Leinster in the Celtic League in September of that year making 27 league appearances over two seasons. Former Ireland and Connacht coach Warren Gatland signed Reddan to join London Wasps in 2005, where he succeeded Matt Dawson to become first choice scrum half, winning both a Heineken Cup in 2007 and the 2008 Guinness Premiership with them as well as captaining the side during the absence of Lawrence Dallaglio in 2007/08.

He joined Leinster in the summer of 2009 on a three-year contract. Reddan made his 100 appearance for Leinster during their Pro12 Grand Final play off game against Ulster on 17 May 2014.
