Niall Corkery is an Irish Gaelic footballer from Dublin who played for Dublin and Kilmacud Crokes in Stillorgan. He made his intercounty debut for Dublin in the All-Ireland Football Championship in 2010. He opted out of the Dublin senior football squad in 2011 due to work commitments in London, England. He now plays senior football in London with Parnells and was on the losing side for the club in the 2011 London SFC final against Fulham Irish.

Niall played midfield for his club in the All Ireland Club final 2009 against Crossmaglen Rangers, scoring one point. He is currently pursuing a postgraduate course in UCD and is a former engineering graduate of the college. Niall holds the honour of being awarded the inaugural fair play club championship award in 2009. Once mocked for his lack of calf muscles, Niall took the advice of a pal and did calf raises between every set of exercises in the gym. And that's what "Giller" respected about him.
