Thomas Costello (1929 – 3 August 2023) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for club side Duagh and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.
Costelloe first came to prominence as a Gaelic footballer with the Duagh club.[1] After making a number of National League appearances for the Kerry senior football team, he won an All-Ireland Junior Championship title in 1954. This victory saw Costelloe drafted onto the senior team for the 1955 Munster Championship. He won a provincial championship medal that year before ending the season with an All-Ireland title after a defeat of Dublin in the final.[2][3] Costelloe ended his career by winning a league title in 1959.
