William Tabb (30 May 1918[1] – 15 January 1997) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Midleton, Carrigtwohill and Cobh and was also a member of the Cork senior hurling team.
Tabb first played hurling with the Midleton club before later transferring to Carrigtwohill.[2][3] He ended his career without a county championship title. Tabb's performances at club level earned a call-up to the Cork senior hurling team. He made a number of appearances throughout the 1938-39 National League and made his championship debut as a substitute against Limerick in the 1939 Munster final.[4] Such was Tabb's influence in that game that he earned selection on the starting fifteen for the 1939 All-Ireland final defeat by Kilkenny.[5] He was part of Cork's 1939-40 National Hurling League-winning team before leaving the panel.
