Josie Munnelly (March 1915 – June 1996) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. His league and championship career at senior level with the Mayo county team lasted fourteen seasons from 1934 until 1948.[1]

Munnelly made his senior debut for Mayo during the 1934–35 league and quickly became a regular member of the starting fifteen. Over the course of the following fourteen seasons he enjoyed much success, the highlight being in 1936 when he won an All-Ireland medal. Munnelly also won four Connacht medals and six National Football League medals. After ending his senior career, Munnelly joined the Mayo junior team and won an All-Ireland medal in that grade in 1957.[citation needed]
