Ephraim "Ephie" Fitzgerald^[1] (born 1961) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer who played as a right corner-forward for the Cork senior team.

Born in Cork, Fitzgerald first excelled at Gaelic football whilst at school at Coláiste Chríost Rí. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1982 championship. Fitzgerald went on to play a brief role for the team over the next few years, winning one Munster medal.

At club level Fitzgerald is a three-time All-Ireland medallist with Nemo Rangers. He has also won five Munster medals and five championship medals.

Throughout his career Fitzgerald made 3 championship appearances for Cork. He retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 1983 championship.

In retirement from playing Fitzgerald has become involved in coaching and team management. At club level he has guided Nemo Rangers and Ballylanders to championship success, while at inter-county level he has served as manager of the Cork minor team and coach of the Limerick senior team.^[2]^[3]^[4] In October 2014 Fitzgerald was appointed as a coach and a selector to the Clare senior team.^[5]
