Kevin Hennessy (born 8 March 1961) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left-corner forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Midleton, County Cork, Hennessy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of 18 when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1982 championship. Hennessy went on to play a key part for over a decade, and won three All-Ireland medals and seven Munster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
Hennessy represented the Munster inter-provincial team in the early stages of his career, winning two Railway Cup medals. At club level he won one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and four championship medals with Midleton.
Throughout his career Hennessy made 22 championship appearances for Cork. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1993 championship.
Hennessy played his club hurling with the Midleton club in East Cork and came to prominence just as the club joined the senior ranks of the county championship. He won his first senior county senior championship title with the club in 1983. It was Midleton's first senior county final triumph since 1916. Hennessy's side later had the honour of representing Cork in the provincial club championship. A 1–14 to 1-11 defeat of Tipperary's Borrisoleigh in the replay of provincial decider gave Fenton a Munster club winners' medal. Midleton were later defeated by Gort in the All-Ireland club semi-final.
