Maurice Michael George Swan (born 27 September 1938 in Dublin) is a former Irish professional footballer.

Swan was a goalkeeper who first played with Drumcondra F.C. in his native city before moving to Cardiff City in 1960. He moved to Hull City in 1963 for a fee of £5,000 and had a successful spell there with the highlight being the 1965/66 season as City won the Third Division championship and reached the FA Cup quarter-final.

After leaving Hull after playing 103 games for them, Swan went back to Ireland to play for Dundalk F.C. in 1968.

He won his only international cap for the Republic of Ireland national football team on 18 May 1960 when he replaced Noel Dwyer at half time in a 4-1 defeat to Sweden in Malmo.
