Ginger Molloy (born 25 December 1937) is a former New Zealand Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. He competed from 1965 to 1970 in the Grand Prix world championship.
Growing up in Huntly, Molloy played rugby league for Huntly United alongside fellow future motorcycle champion Hugh Anderson.[1] Molloy represented New Zealand schoolboys in rugby league before travelling to Europe in 1963.
