Noel Drumgoole (Irish: Nollaig Dromgúl; 1931–1995) was an Irish hurler and manager who played as a full-back for the Dublin senior team and managed the Limerick senior hurling team on two occasions.

In 1984, he was named on the Centenary Team of players who had not won All-Ireland honours.

In 1968, Noel founded the Na Piarsaigh GAA Club on the north side of Limerick city. In 2011 Na Piarsaigh won their first County Senior Championship beating Ahane on a scoreline of 2-18 to 0-13. The club then went on to beat Crusheen of Clare in the Munster Club Final in Semple Stadium.

Noel won three Railway Cup medals with Leinster in 1956, 1962 and 1964. He captained the 1962 team to success.[1]
