Séamus McCarthy (born 1954) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played at senior level for the Tipperary county team.

Born in Bansha, County Tipperary, McCarthy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team in 1972 before later joining the under-21 side in 1974 and 1975. He joined the senior panel during the 1974 championship. McCarthy subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen.

At club level McCarthy is a three-time championship medallist with Galtee Rovers.

McCarthy retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 1982 championship.

In retirement from playing McCarthy became involved in team management and coaching. He has served as manager and selector with the Tipperary minor, under-21, junior and senior teams.

He was also an umpire, who aged 21 during the 1975 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, became part of the first father-and-son pair (with his 50-year-old father Eddie) to umpire at an All-Ireland final.
