James "Jim" Treacy (born 1943) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Bennettsbridge, County Kilkenny, Treacy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he first linked up with the Kilkenny senior team. He joined the team during the 1963 championship. Treacy went on to play a key role over the next decade, winning four All-Ireland medals, eight Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal. He captained the team to the All-Ireland title in 1967.
At club level Treacy is a five-time championship medallist with Bennettsbridge.
His brother, Martin Treacy, also enjoyed All-Ireland success with Kilkenny.
Throughout his career Treacy made 30 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county following the conclusion of the 1975 championship.
Treacy played hurling with his local club in Bennettsbridge and enjoyed much success during a golden age for the club.
In 1964 Bennettsbridge qualified for the final of the county senior championship with Treacy lining out in defence. Glenmore provided the opposition, however, they proved no match for 'the bridge'. A 4–9 to 1–4 victory gave Treacy his first county championship title.
Treacy's side surrendered their championship crown to Mooncoin the following year, however, both sides met in the county final again in 1966. Bennettsbridge had the upper-hand for the game and won by 4–8 to 2–4. It was Treacy's second county title.
