Graham Callinan (born 1982 in Blackpool, Cork) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Glen Rovers and has been a member of the Cork senior inter-county team since 2008.
Callanan plays club hurling with Glen Rovers, one of the most famous clubs of all-time. He first came to prominence with 'the Glen' as a member of the minor hurling team. In 1999 he lined out in the final of the county minor championship, with Erin's Own providing the opposition. Callanan ended up on the losing side on that occasion as the men from East Cork took the title. In 2000 both these sides met again in the county minor championship decider. Callanan was a key member of the Glen Rovers team again, however, he faced a second consecutive defeat.
In 2001 'the Glen' continued with their underage dominance by reaching the final of the county under-21 championship. Callanan was again a key member of the team that lined out against Carrigtwohill. After a close game Glen Rovers emerged victorious by 2-9 to 2-6.
Two years later in 2003 Callanan was a key member of the St. Nicholas' under-21 Gaelic football team. St. Nick's reached the county final of that competition with old rivals Erin's Own providing the opposition. An entertaining game ended in a 1-9 apiece draw. The replay proved more conclusive with Callanan claiming a county under-21 football winners' medal following a 1-11 to 2-4 victory.
After losing two Cork County Senior Hurling Championship finals to Sarsfields in 2010 and 2014,Callanan and `The Glen` finally made it third time lucky and defeated `Sars` on a scoreline of 2-17 to 1-13 on the 11th of October 2015.Not only did Callanan captain `The Glen` to their first county in twenty six years,he also turned in a man of the match display to help his club end the famine.
