Ballyroan Gaelic Athletic Association Club was a gaelic football club in County Laois, Ireland.
Founded in 1887, the club colours are sky blue and navy having originally been royal blue with a dominant white V on the front.
The club has won eight Laois Senior Football Championship titles in its own right, the most recent of which was in 1992.
However in 2006, a number of Ballyroan players were part of the Ballyroan Gaels squad that won the Laois Senior Football Championship. Ballyroan Gaels was an amalgamation of the two neighbouring clubs, Abbeyleix and Ballyroan.
In 2007 the two clubs joined together to form the new Ballyroan Abbey club. The existing Abbeyleix club will now just concentrate on hurling alone.
