Owen Fintan Xavier Butler (born 15 September 1975)[1] is an Irish cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler.[1]

He made his debut for Ireland in June 1994 against the MCC.[2] His List A debut came the following year in a Benson and Hedges Cup match against Surrey.[3] His only first-class match was against Scotland in August 1996.[4]

He was then absent from the Irish team for almost four years[2] before making a comeback in the ICC Emerging Nations tournament in Zimbabwe in April 2000. Later that year, he played in the European Championship,[5] the match against Italy being his twelfth and, to date, last match for Ireland.[2]
