Ger "Redser" O'Grady (born 1978) is an Irish sportsman. He was the captain of the Tipperary senior hurling team for the early matches in the 2006 championship campaign.

Ger O'Grady was born in Thurles, County Tipperary in 1978. He was educated locally and plays his club hurling with Thurles Sarsfields. He was captain of the team in 2005 when they won their first County Senior Hurling title in thirty-one years. O'Grady has played for Tipperary at minor and Under-21 level, winning a Munster Under-21 medal as a substitute in 1999. O'Grady made his competitive debut for the Tipperary senior hurlers in the 2003 National League against Offaly. Later that year he made his Championship debut against Laois in the All-Ireland Qualifiers. Unlike many of his team-mates O'Grady has yet to win a Munster or All-Ireland medal at senior level.

Following some indifferent displays in the Munster Championship of 2006, it was announced in July 2006 that O'Grady had lost his place in the Tipperary panel and will take no further part in the 2006 Championship, however, given his tenacity, this is expected to be a temporary set-back to a promising career.
