O'Dempseys Gaelic Athletic Association club is a gaelic football club in Killenard, County Laois, Ireland.

The club was founded in 1951, won the Laois Junior Football Championship title in that same year and followed up by winning the Laois Intermediate Football Championship title the following year.

O'Dempseys went on to win two Laois Senior Football Championship titles in 1963 and 1980.

Families such as the Slevins, Whelehans, Kehoes, Finlays, Behans and Costellos have been to the fore in this club.

Famous county players that have played for the club include Jack Kenna, Frank Nerney, Brian Nerney, Mick Aherne, Eddie Kelly, Leo Turley, John Costello and current star Peter O'Leary.

Regarded as showing great pride and passion towards the game, this can be symbolised in the club's lion which is placed on the club's jersey.

O'Dempseys GAA club grounds are located at the Old Pound, near Ballybrittas.
