Wolfe Tones GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club which comprises an amalgamation of the parishes of Oristown and Kilberry which are situated roughly halfway between the town of Navan and the town of Kells, in County Meath, Ireland. The club mainly plays football but also have a strong hurling side. It competes in Meath GAA competitions. The club won the Meath Senior Football Championship in 2006 and 2021.
Wolfe Tones went from the Meath Junior Football Championship to Meath Senior Football Championship winners in the space of four seasons in the early 21st-century, featuring Meath player Cian Ward, whose emergence as one of Meath's "most exciting talents" coincided with this run, while 1996 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship-winning captain Tommy Dowd also joined the club around this time.{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/you-have-to-grasp-the-nettle-when-you-are-good-enough-ward-41032721.html|title='You have to grasp the nettle when you are good enough' — Ward|work=Irish Independent|first1=Donnchadh|last1=Boyle|first2=Conor|last2=McKeon|date=9 November 2021}}
