Liam Kelly is an Irish musician. He is a native of Sligo and a founding member of the band Dervish.

Born into a musical family, Liam began playing traditional Irish music at a very young age. He started on the accordion but later switched to the whistle and in turn the flute, which he learned mainly from local player Carmel Gunning. He is a veteran of many musical competitions, at one of which he met Shane Mitchell. Their friendship lead to Poitin, a traditional group they formed while still at school. The group enjoyed a level of success and media attention, including several TV and radio appearances.

Liam played flute (feadóg mhór) on Aoife Ní Fhearraigh's inaugural release on cassette, entitled Loinneog Cheoil.

His role in Dervish is a central one, as the band's core sound revolves around the tight and intuitive interplay between flute, accordion and fiddle.
