Brendan Cummins (born 1950) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.
Cummins joined the team during the 1971-72 National Hurling League and was a semi-regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1976 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal and one Munster medal.
At club level Cummins was a three-time All-Ireland medalist with Blackrock. In addition to this he has also won two Munster medals.

The subsequent All-Ireland decider pitted Blackrock against Rathnure. A high-scoring game followed, however, a narrow 5-13 to 6-9 victory gave Cummins an All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship medal.
Blackrock surrendered their club, provincial and All-Ireland decider the following year, however, in 1973 Cummins lined out in a second county championship final. A 2-12 to 2-10 defeat of Glen Rovers gave him a second championship medal. A subsequent two-point defeat of Newmarket-on-Fergus in the provincial decider gave Cummins a second Munster medal. The subsequent All-Ireland final pitted Blackrock against Rathnure. A rousing draw was followed by a great replay, however, Cummins was dropped for the replay. Superb late goals by Donie Collins and Éamonn O'Donoghue secured a 3-8 to 1-9 victory and a second All-Ireland medal for Cummins, albeit as an unused su.
