Conor McKenna (born 28 March 1996) is a Northern Irish Gaelic football and Australian rules football player. He currently plays professional Australian rules football for Brisbane Lions in the AFL. McKenna previously played Australian rules football for Essendon in the Australian Football League (AFL) and Gaelic football for Eglish St Patrick's and Tyrone. He won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship for Tyrone in 2021 and the AFL Premiership playing for Brisbane in 2024, becoming only the second player to do so after Tadhg Kennelly.
McKenna was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, and grew up in the village of Benburb near Dungannon. There he played Gaelic football for Eglish GAC and the Tyrone minors. In December 2013, the then 18-year-old McKenna attracted interest from several AFL clubs when he was spotted at a talent combine in Ireland. Ten months later, on 3 October 2014, Essendon secured McKenna to a two-year deal as a Category B rookie.
