Charles "Charlie" Cullinane (10 November 1943 – 21 July 2015) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.

Cullinane joined the team during the 1968-69 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1970 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and one National League medal. Cullinane was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Cullinane was a one-time All-Ireland medalist with St. Finbarr's. In addition to this he has also won two Munster medals and three county club championship medals.

Cullinane played his club hurling with St. Finbarr's and enjoyed much success during a golden age for the club.

After losing the championship decider to Glen Rovers in 1964, "the Barr's" were back for a second successive final the following year. University College Cork provided the opposition, however, a youthful St. Finbarr's team powered to a 6-8 to 2-6 victory. It was Cullinane's first championship medal. A subsequent 3-12 to 2-3 trouncing of Waterford's Mount Sion gave him a Munster medal.
