Tony Boyle (born 1970) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for An Clochán Liath and Donegal.

He is from Keadue. His father, Tony Boyle Snr, died in 2022, and his mother Kathleen died in 1997. From a family of seven, Tony Jnr has three sisters: Breda, Nicola and Karen. He played for them from 1990 to 2001.

Aged 19, he made his championship debut as a 2nd half sub for Tommy Ryan v Armagh in the 1990 Ulster SFC final, won by Donegal. With the game tied (and via Barry McGowan), he found Manus Boyle, who scored a critical point.
