William Gunning (1864 - 16 November 1895) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. His championship career with the Limerick senior team lasted three seasons from 1887 until 1889.[1]
Gunning first played competitive Gaelic football with the Commercials club, winning three successive county senior championship medals between 1887 and 1889.
Gunning made his inter-county debut during the 1887 championship when the Commercials club represented Limerick in the inaugural championship. He won his sole All-Ireland medal that year as Limerick defeated Louth in the final.
