Conor Terence Murphy (born 10 July 1963) is an Irish republican Sinn Féin politician. He is the MLA for Newry and Armagh.
Murphy was born in Newry, County Armagh. According to An Phoblacht, he first became involved with the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during the 1981 hunger strikes. In 1982 he was sentenced to five years in prison for IRA membership and possession of explosives.
Between 1989 and 1997, he was a Sinn Féin councillor on Newry and Mourne District Council for The Fews area, in South Armagh and South Down, and served as his party's group leader at that level.
In 1998, Murphy was elected as one of his party's two Northern Ireland Assembly members for Newry and Armagh. He was re-elected, with two party colleagues, to the Assembly in 2003.
He lives in Camlough, County Armagh with his wife Catherine, his daughter Áine and his son Oísin. He attended St. Colman's College, Newry, and the Queen's University of Belfast (QUB), and the University of Ulster.
In 2001, he contested the Newry and Armagh Westminster seat, coming second to incumbent Seamus Mallon of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP). When Mallon decided not to contest the seat again, Murphy became the clear favourite to win and was elected MP on 5 May 2005.
