Colin O'Riordan (born 12 October 1995) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Tipperary senior team.[1]

Born in Templemore, County Tipperary, O'Riordan first excelled at Gaelic games during his schooling at Our Lady's Secondary School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of fifteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minors teams as a dual player before later joining the under-21 sides. He made his senior debut during the 2014 league. O'Riordan immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won one National League (Division 4) medal.[2]

At club level O'Riordan plays both Gaelic football and hurling with J. K. Bracken's.[3]

In October 2015, O'Riordan signed an international rookie contract with the Sydney Swans in the AFL.[4]
