Terry Fahey (born 20 January, 1954 [cite book|author=Gary Lester (editor)|title=The Sun Book of Rugby League - 1983|year=1983|publisher= "John Fairfax Marketing"|location=Sydney, New South Wales|isbn=0909558833|pages=page 16] ) is an Australian former professional rugby league player for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Eastern Suburbs and Canberra Raiders clubs. He was a powerful, hard-running wing-threequarter.

Fahey was born in Wellington, New South Wales.

Club career

Nicknamed the "Redfern Express", Fahey played 90 first grade matches for the Rabbitohs in the years 1976-1980 scoring 46 tries and 28 goals for a total of 194 points. He joined Easts for two seasons in 1981. In 1982 he was the season's leading try scorer, with fifteen tries. Fahey signed with Canberra in 1983 but a recurring neck injury caused him to miss the entire 1985 season.
