Graiguecullen is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in County Laois.
Winners of twelve Laois Senior Football Championship titles, the last of which was in 1965, the club has produced many famous football players including Tommy Murphy, Willie Brennan, Mick Haughney and Andy Fennell.
Founded in 1898, the club colours are green with a red hoop and white shorts. The club originally competed in the Laois championships but in 1903, for travel reasons, the club affiliated to Carlow GAA.
During it's time in Carlow GAA the club was extremely succesful winning no less than 13 Carlow Senior Football Championship titles before returning to compete in the Laois championships in 1927 following an infamous game in 1926 in the Carlow Senior Football Championship after which the Graiguecullen club was suspended.
The club grounds are called Fr. Maher Park.
