Kevin O'Connor (born October 19, 1985, Dublin, Republic of Ireland) is a professional footballer, playing with Football League Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
O'Connor began his career at Wolves' Youth Academy and became a regular in the reserve team. Manager Glen Hoddle seemed reluctant to select him for the first team, and he joined Stockport County F.C. on loan in March 2006 making seven appearances and scoring one goal. The appointment of Mick McCarthy as manager saw him promoted to the first team, making his senior league debut for Wolves on 5 August 2006 against Plymouth Argyle with Wolves' only goal of a 1-1 draw resulting from O'Connor's deflected shot (credited as an own-goal for Mathias Kouo-Doumbe).
O'Connor has also been selected for Republic of Ireland under-18, under-20 and under-21 squads. He is the brother of Burnley (and former West Bromwich Albion) midfielder James O'Connor.
