For other persons named Timothy Murphy, see Timothy Murphy (disambiguation).
Timothy J. Murphy (died 29 April 1949) was a senior Irish Labour Party politician.
He was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1923 general election as a TD for Cork West. He was re-elected at the next nine general elections, but remained on the opposition benches of the Dáil until 1948 when the Labour Party joined the First Inter-Party Government. The Taoiseach John A. Costello then appointed him as Minister for Local Government.
Murphy died suddenly in 1949, little more than a year into his tenure as a Cabinet Minister. The by-election for his seat in the Dáil was held on 15 June 1949, and won for the Labour Party by William J. Murphy.
