Peter Michael Murphy (born 27 October 1980, in Dublin) is an Irish football player and coach, who is the current manager of Scottish League One club Queen of the South.
Murphy played as a defender, but also operated through midfield. He currently holds the club record at Carlisle United for the most appearances for the club as an outfield player with over 400, before being released after 12 years of service in 2013.[citation needed] He later played for Scottish clubs Ayr United and Annan Athletic, and then became Annan's manager. After seven seasons in that position he was appointed manager of Queen of the South in May 2024.
