Noel Curran (1943 – 1 June 2013) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for club sides Dunshaughlin and Thomas Davis and at inter-county level with the Meath senior football team. He usually lined out as a full-forward.
Curran played the vast majority of his club football with Dunshaughlin.[2] He lined out with the local parish under-14 team St. Martin's in 1957 before first playing at adult level in 1961. He won a Meath JFC medal in 1967 before winning a Meath IFC title a decade later in 1977. Later in his career he joined the Thomas Davis club in Dublin. Curran first came to inter-county prominence as a member of the Meath junior football team beaten by Cork in the 1964 All-Ireland junior final. He made his senior team debut against Westmeath. Curran was full forward on the Meath team which beat Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final, having occupied the same position in the final the previous year when Galway completed a three in-a-row.[3][4] He missed out on Meath's 1970 All-Ireland final defeat to Kerry but returned to the team, for a spell during the early 1970s.
