Geoffrey McGonagle (born 26 September 1974) is a dual player of Gaelic games who played Gaelic football and hurling for Derry in the 1990s and 2000s.
McGonagle played club football for St Canice's Dungiven and club hurling for Kevin Lynch's.
Former team-mate Joe Brolly said "first and foremost he was a great entertainer and character."
In football, he played as a forward. For a big player he has extraordinary co-ordination and hand speed. He is also famed for his ability to dummy players. Brolly said "there were many times when you could only marvel at his wizardry". Brolly says when McGonagle "was on his game, there wasn't a footballer in the country who could have laced his boots" and described him as a scoring machine.
He also played in the forward line in hurling.
