Geordan Murphy (born 19 April 1978) is an Irish rugby union footballer who plays Wing or full back for the English club Leicester Tigers and Ireland.

Murphy was born in Naas, near Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. He was officially named George after his father but his mother called him Geordan to avoid confusion. His brothers and sister all played rugby.

He joined Leicester as a eighteen year old, and gradually made his way into the Tigers' first team squad. Opportunities at full back were limited by the presence of Tim Stimpson, but he gained a place on the right wing. He was overlooked for a while by the Ireland team, probably because of their policy of preferring not to select foreign-based players in order to encourage them to play at home.

Murphy broke his leg prior to the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup and did not comepete.
