Noel Synnott (born 14 December 1951) is an Irish former football player and manager. He was a defender who played for Shamrock Rovers and played three times for the Republic of Ireland national football team in 1978. Doctors told him he would never play again so a testimonial was held for him at Glenmalure Park on 21 September 1983. In August 1988 Synnott once again appeared in The Hoops in a Leinster Senior Cup (association football) tie. After his playing career ended he served as manager of Kilkenny City F.C. for the 1991–92 season and Shamrock Rovers for a brief period in 2004.
