Ronan Wallace (born 1995/1996) is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Multyfarnham club and at senior level for the Westmeath county team.
He was a member of the team that defeated Dublin at Parnell Park in the 2019 O'Byrne Cup final, his county's first time to win that trophy since 1988. He won his second piece of silverware of 2019 when Westmeath won the 2019 National Football League Division 3 league title by a goal against Laois at Croke Park, Wallace scored 0–1.
He scored the first goal against Offaly in the 2022 Tailteann Cup semi-final, which Westmeath won to qualify for the competition's inaugural final. Then he got the insurance score in that one to down Cavan.
Wallace was appointed Westmeath captain in 2025 following the retirement of Kevin Maguire.
Wallace captained and inspired Westmeath to the 2026 O'Byrne Cup. Then he captained Westmeath to only a second ever Leinster Senior Football Championship title in 2026. His walk up the steps of the Hogan Stand to lift the Delaney Cup was instantly declared an iconic moment in the sports history of Westmeath.
But from day on we've envisaged Wally [captain Ronan Wallace] walking up the steps of Hogan Stand and by God, did he do it today, it was just brilliant.
Now Wallace is 30, and that day follows him around like a shadow.
However, they underlined their early dominance when in the 15th minute, David Lynch set the onrushing Ronan Wallace through on goal, and the Multyfarnham man rattled the Offaly net from close range.
