Nigel Carr MBE (born 27 July 1959) is a former Ireland rugby union international. His career was cut short due to injuries sustained in an IRA bomb explosion. His service as a player, selector, broadcaster, and charity volunteer was recognised by the 2021 Birthday Honours award of an MBE for his contribution to sport and community relations. This was underscored in 2025 after induction into the Irish Rugby Writers’ Hall of Fame and the conferral of an Honorary Doctorate from Queen’s University Belfast.
