Jason Byrne (born 23 February 1978) is an Irish football player, currently playing as a striker for Bluebell United in the Leinster Senior League. He is the second highest ever goal scorer in the history of the League of Ireland.

Byrne's form won him a call up to the Ireland team for a friendly against Poland in April 2004. The manager at the time, Brian Kerr, opted only to bring him on for the final few seconds. This move was not appreciated by Shelbourne supporters, who already had a strong dislike for Kerr due to his association with their rivals St Patrick's Athletic.

Despite a relatively poor start to the 2006 season, Byrne was called up to the Ireland squad to face Chile on 24 May 2006 by Brian Kerr's successor, Steve Staunton. The game was a disappointing one for Ireland as they were defeated 1–0 at home. Byrne, unlike his previous international encounter, earned a reasonable amount of time on the park as he played the final 20 minutes of the game, setting up several gilt-edged opportunities for his teammates.

Byrne was again called up to the Ireland squad by Staunton in 2006, for a friendly against the Netherlands, but was unable to take his place in the squad due to injury.

Byrne is married with three children. He is the first cousin of all time Ireland leading goalscorer Robbie Keane.
