Ken McGuinness (born 14 September 1975) is an Australian former rugby league player for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Wests Tigers and North Queensland Cowboys. His position of choice was at centre and he represented for New South Wales on five occasions.

Biography

McGuinness was one of nine Wests players to cross-over to the merged Magpies-Tigers club at the end of the 1999 season but he was unable to secure a regular first grade position at Wests Tigers in their inaugural year. In August 2000, McGuinness played for the excluded South Sydney Rabbitohs in two of their matches against Lebanon and the Tomahawks.

McGuinness spent 2001 in the Queensland Cup competition and played for the Toowoomba Clydesdales in the grand final that year. After nine games with the North Queensland Cowboys in 2002, McGuinness announced his retirement from first grade at the age of 26, saying he had lost his passion for the game.

During his time with the Wests Magpies, McGuinness was selected for NSW Origin on five occasions in the 1997 and 1998 series, scoring one try. [cite web | title=State of Origin stats | url=http://stats.rleague.com/rl/soo/soo_idx.html | accessdate=2007-08-31 ]
