Kelvin Joseph "Kel" O'Shea (13 July 1933 – 22 January 2015) was an Australian representative rugby league footballer, a second-rower from Queensland whose club career was played with the Western Suburbs Magpies in Sydney.
He remained in Queensland for the 1955 season but in 1956 accepted an offer to move to Sydney to join the Western Suburbs Magpies who at that time were buying up a talent roster including Arthur Summons, Harry Wells, Dick Poole and Ian Moir in their pursuit of an elusive premiership title – an approach which earned the club their tag as "the Millionaires".
Playing in the Newcastle Grand final he converted his club's winning try after the bell as spectators invaded the field.
[citation needed] He debuted for Australia in 1954 called into the forward pack to partner Norm Provan against the touring British Lions.
Over the next four years, O'Shea and Provan formed a solid partnership that saw them represent against all of the rugby league playing nations.
