Timothy J. Murphy (died 29th April 1949) was a senior Irish Labour Party politician.

He was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1923 general election as a TD for Cork West. He was re-elected at the next nine general elections, but remained on the opposition benches of the Dáil until 1948 when Labour joined the First Inter-Party Government. Taoiseach John A. Costello then appointed him as Minister for Local Government.

Murphy died suddenly in 1949, little more than a year into his tenure as a Cabinet Minister. The by-election for his seat in the Dáil was held on 15th June 1949, and won for the Labour Party by William Murphy.

Seán MacEntee		 Minister for Local Government
1948–1949		 Succeeded by:
