Leo O'Halloran (11 June 1925 – 27 October 1990)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A follower and forward, O'Halloran was already 24 when he started his league career, having come to Geelong from Barwon Heads.[2][3] While he was at the club in 1951 and 1952, Geelong won back to back premierships, but O'Halloran never featured in a single final.[2] He struggled with injuries and the most he played in a season for Geelong was seven games in 1951.[2] His performances for the Geelong seconds in 1952 won him a Gardiner Medal.
He spent the 1953 VFL season at South Melbourne, playing as a rover.[4]
