Timothy Dalton (born 1959) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer. His league and championship career with the Cork senior team spanned several seasons from 1979 to 1988.
Born in Cork, Dalton first played competitive Gaelic football in his youth. He first appeared for the Nemo Rangers club at underage levels, winning back-to-back under-21 championship medals. Dalton subsequently progressed onto the Nemo Rangers senior team and went on to win five All-Ireland medals in a career that spanned three decades.
