Ger Aylward (born 30 March 1992) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Glenmore, County Kilkenny, Aylward first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Good Counsel College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2013 league. Aylward subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won one All-Ireland medal and one Leinster medal.

Aylward first played for Kilkenny in 2009 when he joined the minor side. He won his first Leinster medal that year following Kilkenny's 1-19 to 0-11 trouncing of Wexford in the provincial decider.Galway provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland decider on 6 September 2009. A devastating second quarter display was pivotal in powering the Westerners to a 2-15 to 2-11 victory.
In 2010 Aylward won a second successive Leinster medal following a 1-20 to 0-10 trouncing of Dublin. The subsequent All-Ireland decider on 5 September 2010 pitted Kilkenny against Clare.
