Noel Martin Cavanagh (born 29 March 1942) is an Australian former rugby league player.
In 1967, Cavanagh won a premiership with Brothers, kicking all of his team's points in a try-less 6–2 grand final win over Northern Suburbs.
He had a difficult start, breaking a hand in his first pre-season, then getting suspended for a stiff-arm tackle on his first-grade debut, but became an important player.
At the end of the 1969 season, Cavanagh had a stint in England with Bradford Northern, playing under Gus Risman.
[3] He continued to live in Bundaberg after retiring and it was on his recommendation that North Sydney recruited local product Les Kiss.
