Pascal McConnell is an All-Ireland-winning former Gaelic footballer for Tyrone, who last competed with John Devine and Niall Morgan to be first choice goalkeeper for Tyrone.

In 1998, McConnell played alongside Stephen O'Neill in the MacRory Cup semi-final for Omagh CBS.

His older brother is Tyrone's great All Star-winning goalkeeper of the nineties, Finbar McConnell.

In November 2013, McConnell announced his retirement from inter-county football.^[1] On retiring he said "There is a big commitment required in order to stay performing at the top level and I feel the time is right to bow out and start a new chapter in my life, I have absolutely no regrets from my playing career with Tyrone although I suppose if I was a bit greedy I would say that I felt that we could have won the All Ireland in 2009 and 2010."^[2]^[3] His retirement from inter-county football left Conor Gormley, Dermot Carlin, Stephen O'Neill and Sean Cavanagh as the only remaining links to the Tyrone team that won the county's first All-Ireland senior title in 2003.^[4]
