Dr Crokes is a Gaelic football and hurling club from Killarney, County Kerry. Founded in 1886, the team wears black and amber and plays at Dr Crokes GAA Grounds on Lewis Road.

The club has won major honours, including the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship in 1992 and 2017, and the Munster Club Championship eight times (1991, 1992, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2018). They have also won the Kerry Senior Football Championship 14 times, with the latest title in 2024. Dr Crokes is the only club in Killarney with a hurling team, which won the Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship in 1999 and 2001. Notable players include Colm Cooper, Eoin Brosnan, Johnny Buckley and Tony Brosnan.

The club has a rich history, contributing many All-Ireland medals (77 in total) and producing coaches like Dr Eamon O’Sullivan, who guided Kerry teams from 1924 to 1962. Fitzgerald Stadium was built in 1936 in memory of Dick Fitzgerald, and in the last two decades the club added new facilities at Deerpark and Lewis Road to support rising membership. Dr Crokes runs multiple teams across ages, including three adult football teams (A, B, C), under-21, minors, and several youth levels, plus hurling and ladies football programs.
