Conor Fogarty (born 12 May 1990) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a midfielder for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Castlecomer, County Kilkenny, Fogarty first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Castlecomer Community School. 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 and intermediate sides. He joined the senior panel during the 2011 championship. Fogarty subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won two All-Ireland medals and two Leinster medals.
At club level Fogarty is a championship medallist in the intermediate grade with Erin's Own.
His brother, Damien Fogarty, is also an All-Ireland medallist with Kilkenny while his father, Martin Fogarty, is an All-Ireland-winning selector under Brian Cody.
Fogarty first enjoyed success with Erin's Own as a member of the minor team that faced Dicksboro in the championship decider in 2008. After starting at midfield, he was switched to centre-back and produced what has been described as one of the greatest individual displays ever witnessed in a minor final. A narrow 1-11 to 0-11 victory gave Fogarty a championship medal in the minor grade.
Erin's Own completed a remarkable double that year, with Fogarty also lining out in the intermediate decider. A 2-10 to 1-10 defeat of Danesfort secured a championship medal in that grade.
Fogarty first played for Kilkenny in 2008 when he joined the minor side. He won his sole Leinster medal that year following a 1–19 to 0–12 defeat of Wexford. Kilkenny later faced Galway in the All-Ireland decider on 7 September 2008. After going twenty-six minutes without scoring in the second half, substitute Danny Purcell scored 1–1 in the final staged to sneak a 3–6 to 0–13 victory to give Fogarty an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal.
