James Edward "Jim" Young (16 October 1915 – August 1992) was an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer who played in various positions for the Cork senior teams.
Young made his first appearance for the senior hurling team during the 1938 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1949 championship. During that time he won five All-Ireland medals, six Munster medals and three National Hurling League medals. Young was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Young was an eight-time county hurling championship medalist with Glen Rovers. He also played football at club level with Dohenys.
Young's father, Jack, and his brother Éamonn, were All-Ireland medalists in football with Cork.
Young played his club hurling with Glen Rovers and enjoyed much success during a golden age for the club.
In 1938 Young joined the senior team as Glen Rovers set out to make history by besting Blackrock's twenty-five-year-old championship record of winning successive titles. Midleton stood in the way of a fifth successive championship title, however, a comprehensive 5–6 o 1–3 score line secured the victory and gave Young his first championship medal.
