Conor Kenna, born in Dublin on 21 August 1984, is a footballer and the current captain of Eircom League side UCD. Kenna's primary role is at centre back although he has deputised on many occasions at left back for UCD in spite of being right footed. Kenna has formed a highly successful partnership at centre back with Alan McNally in a defence that gave up the fourth fewest goals in the 2006 eL Premier Division. Kenna was called into an Irish U-21 squad in 2005 but had to widthdraw through injury. He was appointed UCD captain in the 2008 pre-season to replace the retired Tony McDonnell. He scored his first competitive goal for UCD in a 3-2 defeat to Derry City on the 7th of March 2008. The game also marked his first competitive game captaining UCD.
