Brian Hogan (born 14 August 1981) is an Irish hurler who played as a centre-back for the Kilkenny senior team until he announced his retirement in 2014.
Hogan made his first appearance for the team during the 2004 championship and has become a regular player over the last few seasons. During that time he has won seven All-Ireland winners' medals, eight Leinster winners' medals, six National League winners' medals and two All-Star award. In 2011 Hogan captained the team to the All-Ireland title.
At club level Hogan is a double Leinster medalist with O'Loughlin Gaels. In addition to this he has also won three county championship winners' medals.
Hogan plays his club hurling with the O'Loughlin Gaels club in Kilkenny city and has enjoyed much success.
In 2001 Hogan won his first county championship winners' medal following a 1–17 to 1–6 defeat of Graigue-Ballycallan. Not only was it Hogan's first club championship but it was O'Loughlin Gaels' first ever.
Two years later in 2003 Hogan won a second county championship winners' medal following a defeat of Young Irelands after a draw and a replay. He later collected a first Leinster club winners' medal following a 0–15 to 0–9 defeat of double All-Ireland champions Birr.
After a hiatus of seven years and a defeat in the 2006 championship decider, O'Loughlin Gaels reached the top of the pile once again in 2010 following a 0–17 to 1–11 defeat of Carrickshock. It was Hogan's third county championship winners' medal. O'Loughlin Gaels later secured a second Leinster club title following a 0–14 to 1–8 defeat of Oulart-the-Ballagh. Hogan's side subsequently qualified for an All-Ireland final showdown with Clarinbridge. A dominant second-half display gave Clarinbridge a 2–18 to 0–12 victory.
