Liam Genockey (born 12 August 1948) is an Irish drummer.

Liam Genockey was born in Dublin, Ireland. During the early 1970s he lived in Devon, U.K. playing with Torbay based rock band Adolphus Rebirth. He was one of the founding members of the early-70s jazz-fusion and afro prog band ZZebra, later moving on with fellow band-member John McCoy to join Gillan.

He then participated in Amalgam, formed in 1976 by Trevor Watts. Watts' work covers the spectrum of free jazz, electronic, jazz-rock, space jazz and folk-rock. Watts later founded 10-piece Moiré Music Ensemble which included Liam again, plus Peter Knight, an early member of Steeleye Span. In 1978 he provided the drums on Gerry Rafferty's song, Baker Street.

He joined Steeleye Span in 1989 and recorded two studio albums Tempted and Tried and Time, with them, as well as two live albums Tonight's the Night...Live and The Collection in Concert. However, between 1997 and 2001 he was not in the band. He returned in 2001 to record Present--The Very Best of Steeleye Span, and has remained with the band since.

Liam is easily identified by his long, plaited beard. He currently lives in Hastings.
