Peadar Healy (born 1963) is a former Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. He was the manager of the Cork senior team from 2015 to 2017
Born in Ballyvourney, County Cork, Healy was introduced to Gaelic football at a young age. He enjoyed success at schools' level while simultaneously enjoying championship successes in minor and under-21 divisional grades with the Naomh Abán club. Healy also won a championship medal in the junior grade.
Healy made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team. An All-Ireland medallist in this grade, he also won an All-Ireland medal as a non-playing substitute with the under-21 team.
In retirement from playing Healy has become involved in team management and coaching. As a selector and coach with the Cork senior team, he helped guide the team to the All-Ireland title in 2010. He also worked as a coach with club sides O'Donovan Rossa and Dr. Croke's. Healy was appointed manager of the Cork senior team on 17 October 2015.
Healy first played for Cork as a member of the minor team on 3 May 1980. He scored 0-7 from centre-forward on his debut in a 2-18 to 0-4 Munster quarter-final defeat by Clare. Cork's championship campaign ended without success that year, however, Healy was eligible for the grade once again in 1981. He won a Munster medal that year following a narrow 0-9 to 1-5 defeat of Kerry. On 20 September 1981 Cork faced Derry in the All-Ireland decider. A hat-trick of goals by Colm O'Neill powered Cork to a 4-9 to 2-7 victory and an All-Ireland Minor Football Championship medal for Healy.
