Colm Bonnar (born 9 July 1964) is an Irish hurling manager and former player whose championship career with the Tipperary senior team lasted from 1986 to 1998. He is the current manager of the Carlow senior team.
Born in Cashel, County Tipperary, Bonnar first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Cashel CBS. He first appeared on the club scene at underage levels with Cashel King Cormacs, before eventually joining the club's senior team. In a distinguished club career he won one Munster medal and one county senior championship medal.
Bonnar made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he joined the Tipperary minor team. He won an All-Ireland medal in this grade in 1982 before later joining the under-21 side. He was also an All-Ireland medal winner in this grade, having earlier won three successive Munster medals. Bonnar made his senior debut during the 1986 championship. Over the course of the next decade he was a regular member of the starting fifteen and won All-Ireland medals in 1989 and 1991. Bonnar also won five Munster medals, one National Hurling League medal and one All-Star. He played his last game for Tipperary in June 1998.
