John O'Connor (born 1963) is an Irish former hurler. At club level, he played with St Martin's and at inter-county level was a member of the Wexford senior hurling team.
O'Connor first played hurling to a high standard at club level with St Martin's. He was in the twilight of his career when he won his only Wexford SHC title following a 1-11 to 1-09 defeat of Rathnure in the 1999 final.[2]
At inter-county level, O'Connor first appeared for Wexford during a two-year tenure with the minor team. He won a Leinster MHC medal as a substitute before defeat by Tipperary in the 1980 All-Ireland minor final.[3] O'Connor's tenure with the under-21 team ended without success.
O'Connor made his senior team debut in a Centenary Cup defeat by Roscommon in April 1984.[4] He won a Leinster SHC medal in 1996, before playing at left corner-back when Wexford beat Limerick in the 1996 All-Ireland final.[5] O'Connor won a second consecutive Leinster SHC medal in 1997.
