Timothy Filiga Cahill (born 6 December 1979) is an Australian former professional footballer who last played for Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League and played for the Australia national team.
Prior to joining Melbourne City, he played for Millwall, Everton, the New York Red Bulls, Shanghai Shenhua, and Hangzhou Greentown. Cahill plays as an attacking midfielder, but has also played as a forward on several occasions. A box-to-box midfielder, Cahill has become recognised for "his aggressive and powerful approach and his ability to head the ball in the penalty area."

Cahill has become one of the highest profile footballers in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), earning over 90 caps and scoring 48 goals for his country. He was the first Australian to score at a FIFA World Cup. Cahill has scored in three World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014) and has scored the most goals by any Australian in the World Cup with five goals. In 2007 he became the first Australian player to score at an AFC Asian Cup. Cahill is known for his adept heading ability and high vertical leap, having scored many of his goals with his head.
