John Loyola Murray (born 1943) was appointed as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ireland in July 2004, replacing Ronan Keane.

John Murray was born in Limerick in 1943 and educated at Crescent College, Limerick, Rockwell College, Co. Tipperary, University College Dublin, and the Honorable Society of King's Inns. He was President of the Union of Students in Ireland in 1966/67. He qualified as a barrister in 1967 and had a successful law practice dealing with commercial, civil, and constitutional law.

He has served on the Supreme Court since 1999 and before that was a member of the European Court of Justice prior to his appointment from 1992. He served the Fianna Fáil government as Attorney General of Ireland from August 17 - December 14 1982. The Taoiseach, Charles Haughey appointed him as Attorney General after his predecessor, Patrick Connolly, resigned abruptly over the GUBU scandal, when a murderer Malcolm McArthur was arrested in Connolly's Dalkey flat.

His next term in office as Attorney General extended from March 11 1987 to September 25 1991. In 1988 he refused to allow the extradition of Fr. Patrick Ryan to Britain on explosives charges dealing with the Provisional IRA on the basis that the trial he would be given would not be fair to due excessive media coverage.

In 1991 he was appointed as a judge to the European Court of Justice serving until 1999 when he was appointed to the Supreme Court. He was appointed as Chief Justice of Ireland in 2004. He is married to Gabrielle Walsh, daughter of former Supreme Court judge Brian Walsh.
