John Devine is the Tyrone Gaelic football goalkeeper. He is in competition for the position with Pascal McConnell, but both players maintain a good relationship.

He was the goalkeeper for Tyrone in their first All-Ireland-winning year, but was the substitute goalie when Tyrone repeated the feat in 2005.

Devine was due to start the 2008 All-Ireland final on 21 September however the night before the game his father sadly passed away. The Tyrone team went on to win their third All Ireland of the decade and dedicated the win to their absent goalkeeper.
