Ted "Square" Kilmurray (18 August 1934 – 10 January 2025) was an Australian rules footballer who played with East Perth in the West Australian National Football League between 1953 and 1966 for a total of 257 games.[1]

Kilmurray was often used on the half forward flanks but also played as a key position forward and ruck-rover. He was a good exponent of the flick pass and won East Perth's Best and Fairest in 1958, breaking teammate Graham Farmer's sequence of four in a row. That year he also won a Sandover Medal as best player in the competition as voted for by the umpires. He was a three time premiership player with East Perth and represented Western Australia at interstate football on four occasions.[2]

In 2005 Kilmurray was named on the interchange bench in the official Indigenous Team of the Century.[3]

Kilmurray died on 10 January 2025, at the age of 90.[1]
