Liam O'Sullivan (28 October 1981 – 29 April 2002) was a Scottish football player, who played as a defender for Hibernian, Clydebank and Brechin City.

O'Sullivan achieved success in youth football with Hutchison Vale, and signed a five-year contract with Hibernian after leaving school in 1997.[1] In May 2000, he joined Icelandic top division club Keflavík on loan. He went on to play seven league matches for the club,[2] before being recalled by Hibernian manager Alex McLeish two months later.[3] O'Sullivan played in the Scottish Football League for both Clydebank and Brechin City during 2000, but then suffered a serious knee injury.[1] As he was battling to recover from that injury, O'Sullivan was found dead in a friend's house in Haddington.[1] It was suspected that a drugs overdose, including methadone and ecstasy, was the cause of death.[1]
