- Darach 'Jigger' O'Connor (born 15 November 1995) is an Irish Gaelic footballer.
- He plays with Buncrana and the Donegal senior inter-county team.
- He has also played the soccer for teams such as Buncrana Hearts and the Republic of Ireland national schoolboy football team.
- His father is former Roscommon star John ‘Jigger’ O'Connor, famed for scoring a goal past Kerry's Charlie Nelligan 35 seconds into the 1980 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.O'Connor didn't play inter-county at Under-16 or Under-17 level, but Stephen Friel called him up for the minors in 2013.
- After leading Buncrana to glory in the 2013 Donegal Minor Championship, Jim McGuinness called him up to the senior inter-county squad for winter training in September 2013.
- He scored a point on his senior championship debut as a late replacement against Derry in the 2014 Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter-final on 25 May 2014, ahead of his Leaving Certificate.
- Then, again as a late replacement, he scored a wonder goal for Donegal in the semi-final against Antrim.
- McGuinness said afterwards: “I was hoping for a point and then he turns back onto his right foot and hit a goal.
- It was a bit of class and he does have that wee trick up his sleeve which is nice in a forward.
- And I think he was well goosed by the time we took him off.
- Because he ran himself into the ground.” O'Connor started the Ulster Final against Monaghan, which Donegal won.
- He made substitute appearances against Armagh in the All-Ireland quarter-final and in the shock victory over Dublin in the semi-final.
- He then started the 2014 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final against Kerry.Following his surprise start in the 2014 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, O'Connor (still eligible for the competition) played in the 2015 Ulster Under-21 Football Championship final loss to Tyrone, scoring two points.
