Timmy McCarthy (born 7 September 1977) is an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Castlelyons, County Cork, McCarthy first played competitive hurling whilst at school at St. Colman's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor teams as a dual player, before later joining the under-21 and intermediate hurling sides. He made his senior debut during the 1998 National Hurling League. McCarthy went on to play a key part for Cork, and won three All-Ireland medals and five Munster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, McCarthy won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he is a two-time championship medallist with divisional side Imokilly. McCarthy also won several championship medals with Castlelyons.
Throughout his career McCarthy made 47 championship appearances for Cork. His retirement from inter-county hurling was confirmed on 12 January 2010.
McCarthy enjoyed much success during his tenure as a student at St. Colman's College. After winning two Dean Ryan Cup medals, he was appointed captain of the senior team in 1996. He won a Harty Cup medal that year following a 3–19 to 1–4 trouncing of Nenagh CBS. All-Ireland kingpins St. Kieran's College provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final. A 1–14 to 2–6 defeat was the result on that occasion.
