Daryl Halligan (born 25 July 1966^[1] in Waikato, New Zealand) is a rugby league football commentator and former professional player. He played club football in Australia for the North Sydney Bears, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and also Test football with the New Zealand national side.

Before defecting to the professional code of rugby league, Halligan played amateur rugby union for Waikato. In rugby league Halligan was renowned as a fine goalkicker, his 855 first grade goals coming at an impressive 80% success rate. At the time of his retirement he held the competition point-scoring record at 2,034 points. He also scored 80 tries, and kicked 4 field goals.

Halligan is noted for revolutionising goal-kicking by using a plastic tee from which to kick.^[2]

Halligan is currently a commentator with Sky Network Television in New Zealand.
