Christy O'Connor (born 1924) was an Irish golfer. During his early career he was known simply as Christy O'Connor, but his nephew of the same name also became a prominent golfer, and since that time they have been referred to as Christy O'Connor Senior and Christy O'Connor Junior respectively.

O'Connor's tournament wins included the 1956 and 1959 British Masters. He played in every Ryder Cup from 1955 to 1973, setting a record of ten appearances in the event which stood until it was surpassed by Nick Faldo in 1997.
