Aidan Walsh (born 23 January 1990) is an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Cork senior teams.
Born in Kanturk, County Cork, Walsh first excelled at Gaelic games during his schooling at Coláiste Treasa. He arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Cork minor teams as a dual player, before later joining both the under-21 sides. He made his senior football debut during the 2009 championship before joining the senior hurling team for the 2014 National Hurling League. Since then Walsh has won one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and two National League medals in football, as well as one Munster medal in hurling. He has been an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
Walsh has also been a member of the Munster inter-provincial team, however, he has yet to claim a Railway Cup medal. At club level he has won several championship medals with Kanturk, while he also lined out with the Cork Institute of Technology.
As a member of the Ireland international rules football team, Walsh has won two International Rules medals, the second as vice-captain of the team.
In 2011 Walsh was a key member of the Kanturk junior football team that reached the final of the county championship. Mitchelstown provided the opposition, however, Kanturk had a facile 1–20 to 0–4 victory, giving Walsh a coveted championship medal.
