Park Rangers were a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club based in the Phoenix Park, Dublin.

They were one of the few clubs in Dublin with no juvenile section and had a single junior Football team.

The club was founded in 1966 and the colours were green and gold. Players from the club An Riocht which disbanded in the early 1970s moved to the club while others moved to Clanna Gael/Fontenoy. An Riocht itself was founded in the 1950s following the disbandment of the Peadar Mackens club. The club won its first championship, the Dublin Junior Football Championship E in 2008. Their only previous appearance in a championship final was in 1977.

Due to poor numbers the club merged with Liffey Gaels for the 2012 season.
