The 1962 Westmeath Senior Hurling Championship was the 58th staging of the Westmeath Senior Hurling Championship.
The format ran as a straight-knockout tournament, with each team afforded just one defeat before elimination from the championship.
Eight teams contested the 1962 championship: Brownstown, Castlepollard, Castletown Geoghegan, Clonkill, Cullion, Pearses, Raharney, and Rickardstown.
Castlepollard entered as the defending champions, defeating Clonkill-Delvin amalgamation side St. Patrick's, but were eliminated in the semi-final stage.
The final was played on August 26, at Cusack Park in Mullingar between Pearses and Raharney. Pearses were contesting their first ever Senior final, while Raharney bridged a 37-year gap since their last appearance in a losing effort in 1925.
Pearses won the match by 2-9 to 3-5 to claim their first and only title, before disbanding in 1969.[1][2]
