Brendan Reilly (born 20 August 1969) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for club side St Peter's, Dunboyne and at inter-county level with the Meath senior football team. He usually lined out as a forward.
Born in Dunboyne, County Meath, Reilly's father, Jim Reilly, was an All-Ireland SFC-winner with Meath in 1954. He first came to prominence at club level with the St Peter's, Dunboyne club and, in a hugely successful club career, won county championship medals in every adult grade. Reilly was 18-years-old when he made his debut with the Meath senior team during the National Football League in late 1987 and was a member of the extended panel when Meath beat Cork in the 1988 All-Ireland SFC final. While it took several seasons before he broke onto the senior team on a more permanent basis, he won an All-Ireland JFC title, as well as provincial honours with the Meath under-21 team. Reilly won an All-Ireland SFC medal on the field of play when he scored the winning point in the 199 All-Ireland SFC final defeat of Mayo. He was an All-Star recipient in 1997, while his other inter-county honours include Leinster SFC and National League titles.
