John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer (born 17 September 1991) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Killenaule and with the Tipperary senior inter-county team since 2013. He was a hero after hammering in a fabulous goal against Kilkenny in the 2016 All Ireland hurling final.
He made his senior debut for Tipperary in January 2013, starting in the half forward line against Limerick in the 2013 Waterford Crystal Cup. On March 18, 2013, he scored 1-6 against Galway in a 4-22 to 1-20 win at Pearse Stadium in the 2013 National Hurling League to win the man of the match award from TG4. On 9 June 2013, he came on as a substitute in the second half against Limerick to make his championship debut. He went on to score 1-3 as Tipperary were defeated 1-18 to 1-15.
On 7 September 2014, O'Dwyer played in his first All-Ireland Final where he scored seven points with five of them coming from play. During the final Tipperary were awarded a free from 97 metres out in injury time with the scores level. O'Dwyer took the free which was hit just wide to the right and required conformation from Hawk-eye that it was wide, the match ended in a draw.
In October 2014, O'Dwyer won his first All Stars Award after a successful 2014 campaign where Tipperary reached the All-Ireland Final. In December 2015, O'Dwyer was named as the Munster Hurler of the Year for 2015.
