Jeremiah Patrick Mullane (1906 — 1930) was an Irish international rugby union player.
A native of County Limerick, Mullane attended Blackrock College, where he was rugby captain, and subsequently studied dairy science at University College Cork. He played rugby for Limerick club Bohemians.[1]
Mullane got his Ireland opportunity in 1928 as a replacement for forward Charles Hanrahan, whose brother had been killed in an accident playing rugby. He debuted as a wing-forward against Wales in Cardiff and gained a second cap in an end of year match against France in Paris.[2]
In 1930, Mullane died of a sudden illness in Cork, at the age of 23.[1]
