Seán Treacy (born 23 September 1923) is an Irish politician who was Ceann Comhairle ("speaker") of Dáil Éireann from 1973 to 1977 and from 1987 to 1997. He was a member of the Presidential Commission (acting head of state) from 17 November to 18 December 1974 and from 22 October to 2 December 1976.

He was first elected to the Dáil in the 1961 general election as a Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for Tipperary South and was re-elected in 7 subsequent elections and returned automatically in 3 more due to being Ceann Comhairle. He left the Labour Party in 1987 and was elected as an independent TD in the 1987 general election. He served in 10 successive Dála until he retired from politics at the 1997 general election.
