Martin O'Connor (born 12 October 1967) is a retired football player and the current manager of non-league side Halesowen Town.

Born in Walsall in 1967, O'Connor started his career at Bromsgrove Rovers in the early 1990s before moving to Crystal Palace. He then spent the first of three spells at Walsall, joining on loan in March 1993 before signing permanently the following year. His most prominent role at the Saddlers was winning promotion to Division Two in 1995.

He then joined Peterborough United, followed by Birmingham City, whom O'Connor represented in the League Cup Final of 2001 against Liverpool, which Birmingham lost in a penalty shootout.

O'Connor re-joined Walsall in 2002, but his contract was not renewed at the end of the 2002-03 season.[1] He then signed for Shrewsbury Town in July 2003,[2] before ending his playing career with Kidderminster Harriers.
