Colm Cavanagh is a Tyrone Gaelic footballer from Moy. He is the younger brother of treble All Star-winner Tyrone player, Sean. He also plays for the University of Ulster team, and in 2007, reached the Sigerson Cup Final.^[1].

He was part of the Tyrone Under 21 team won the Ulster Championship in 2006.

His Tyrone Senior career was shrouded in controversy from the beginning. He made his debut for Tyrone in the 2007 Dr McKenna Cup, however, he had also been selected by his University team for the competition. The competition rules state that in such an event, the University should get first choice of the player, in order to even up the competition. Tyrone manager, Mickey Harte refused to oblige to this rule, contending that it should be up to the players to decide who they wish to play for. Four Tyrone players were caught up in the dispute, Cavanagh, Brendan Boggs, Damien McCaul, who all play for University of Ulster, and St. Mary's University, Belfast player, Cathal McCarron.^[2]
Tyrone were docked points for the match the players participated in, but still progessed to go on to win the competition.

He has continued unabated, however, and has consistently been on the starting line-up for Tyrone in their 2007 National League campaign.
