Jamesie O'Connor (born 1972) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a midfielder for the Clare senior hurling team.
O'Connor made his first appearance for the team during the 1992–93 National League and became a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2004 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, three Munster medals and four All-Star awards. He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level O'Connor was an All-Ireland medalist with St Joseph's Doora-Barefield. He also won two Munster medals and three county club championship medals.
In May 2014, it was announced that O'Connor will be an analyst and co-commentator for Sky Sports new GAA coverage.
O'Connor played with St. Flannan's College during a great run of success in the inter-colleges championship. A defeat of nearby rivals Shannon Comprehensive in 1989 gave him his first Dr. Harty Cup medal. St. Flannan's later faced St. Kieran's College in the All-Ireland decider, however, O'Connor's side were beaten on a 3–5 to 1–9 score line.
Flannan's retained the provincial title in 1990 with O'Connor collecting a second Hraty Cup medal following a defeat of Nenagh CBS. He later lined out in a second All-Ireland final, however, St. Kieran's College took the title once again following a 2–10 to 0–7 victory.
