Mick Moloney (born Michael Moloney in County Limerick on 15 November 1944; died 27 July 2022) was an Irish musician and scholar. As well as solo material, Moloney is remembered for founding The Green Fields Of America and for being a member of The Johnstons.
An important figure on the Dublin folk-song revival in the 1960s, Moloney moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1973. He gained early fame as a member of Irish group The Johnstons and The Emmet Spiceland but has since performed and recorded with a variety of groups and individuals, including Eugene O'Donnell and Séamus Egan; he also worked closely with The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem. In all, he produced and performed on over forty albums. He also founded The Green Fields of America, an organization that promotes traditional Irish-American music.
In 1992, Moloney received a Ph.D. in Folklore and Folklife from the University of Pennsylvania. For his work in public folklore, he received a National Heritage Fellowship from the NEA, the highest honor a traditional artist can receive from the United States. In 1999, he was named "best tenor-banjo player" by Frets magazine. He has taught at several institutions in the United States and is currently a Global Distinguished Professor of Music and the Irish Studies at New York University, where his field of expertise was Celtic music in the United States.
