Cillian Sheridan (born 23 February 1989) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward.

Sheridan began his career with Celtic in 2006, but a lack of first team opportunities saw him being loaned to other Scottish clubs. In 2010, he switched clubs and countries joining CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria, from where he was loaned to Scottish side St Johnstone in 2011. After playing for Kilmarnock between 2012 and 2013, he signed for defending Cypriot champions APOEL. In both his seasons with the club, he won the double. Subsequently, he moved to rivals Omonia.

After stints in Poland, New Zealand and Israel, Sheridan returned to Scotland with Dundee for two injury-plagued seasons. In 2023 he signed a short term deal with Inverness Caledonian Thistle until early 2024, and spent the remainder of the season with Queen's Park where he enjoyed a return to form.

He earned three international caps for the Republic of Ireland in 2010.
