Owen Cunningham (born 23 January 1967), nicknamed OJ, is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
In 1995, Cunningham signed with Super League while in career-best form, which meant he was not eligible for selection in the 1995 State of Origin series.
In 1996, Cunningham made his State of Origin debut for Queensland, coming off the bench in their Game III loss to New South Wales.
In Round 26 of the 1999 NRL season, he played in what was the club's last game, a 18–20 loss to the St George-Illawarra Dragons at WIN Stadium.
Following the conclusion of the 1999 season, Manly were forced to merge with arch-rivals North Sydney, forming the Northern Eagles.
