John Kennedy (born 1964) is an Irish retired hurler. His league and championship career with the Tipperary senior team lasted seven seasons from 1986 to 1992.[1]

Kennedy first appeared for the Clonoulty-Rossmore club at juvenile and underage levels, before eventually joining the club's senior team with whom he won county championship medals in 1989 and 1997.

Kennedy made his debut on the inter-county scene when he was selected for the Tipperary minor team. He enjoyed one championship season with the minor team, culminating with the winning of an All-Ireland medal as captain. Kennedy subsequently joined the under-21 team and won an All-Ireland medal in this grade in 1985. He later joined the Tipperary senior team, making his debut during a challenge game in 1987. Over the course of the following few seasons he enjoyed much success, culminating with the winning of All-Ireland medals in 1989 and 1991. Kennedy also won four Munster medals and one National League medal. A knee injury ended his career after a brief comeback in 1992.

After being chosen on the Munster inter-provincial team for the first time in 1987, Kennedy was an automatic choice on the starting fifteen for the following two years. He ended his career without a Railway Cup medal.
