Khalid Kelly, born Terence Edward Kelly (1967 – 4 November 2016), also known as Abu Osama Al-Irlandi and Taliban Terry was an Irish Muslim convert and at one time the leader of Al-Muhajiroun in Ireland.

Kelly was once a nurse. He was jailed in Saudi Arabia for making alcohol and transporting a large quantity of Johnnie Walker. Like Yvonne Ridley, he converted to Islam after being imprisoned in Saudi Arabia in 2000. He has a daughter who lives with her non-Muslim mother as well as two sons, Osama and Muhammed.

In November 2016 he was reported to have blown himself up on the orders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) during the Battle of Mosul (2016–17).
