Barney Moylan (born 1943) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right wing-forward for the Offaly senior hurling team.
Moylan made his first appearance for the team during the 1965 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1976 championship. During that time he enjoyed little success with the team. Moylan was a Leinster runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Moylan was a two-time Leinster medalist with St. Rynagh's. In addition to this he has also won nine county club championship medals.
Moylan enjoyed much success with St. Rynagh's in a club career that spanned two decades.
In 1965 Moylan won his first championship medal in the senior grade as a defeat of Coolderry earned St. Rynagh's their first ever championship title. Further success followed in 1966 as St. Rynagh's retained the Seán Robbins Cup.
After missing St. Rynagh's championship triumph in 1968, Moylan was back in 1969 and won a third championship medal before winning a fourth the following year. In 1970 he added a Leinster medal to his collection following a 4-10 to 2-9 defeat of Rathnure. St. Rynagh's later faced Roscrea in the inaugural All-Ireland final, however, Moylan's side were defeated by 4-5 to 2-5.
Four county championships-in-a-row proved beyond St. Rynagh's, however, the club bounced back in 1972. A defeat of Kinnitty in the county decider kick-started a remarkable run of success that yielded a record-breaking five championships in succession, bring his medal tally to nine. As well as this Moylan collected a second Leinster medal in 1972 as St. Rynagh's narrowly defeated old rivals Rathnure by 5-5 to 2-13.
