Kevin Ryan (born 1965) is an Irish retired hurler who played in various positions for the Waterford senior hurling team.
Ryan made his first appearance for the team during the 1980–81 National League and became a regular member of the starting fifteen over the next decade. During that time he enjoyed little success, however, he did play a part in securing Waterford's promotion from Division 3 to the top flight of the National League. Ryan ended up as Munster runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Ryan is a multiple county club championship medalist with Mount Sion.
In retirement from playing Ryan became involved in team management. He first coached club sides Mount Sion and Oulart the Ballagh, before later serving as a selector and manager with the Waterford and Carlow senior hurling teams. He is the current manager of the Offaly senior hurling team.
Ryan enjoyed a successful career with the famous Mount Sion club.
In 1981 he won his first county championship medal following a 4–13 to 1–14 defeat of Dunhill. Mount Sion later claimed the provincial club title, however, Ryan played no part in that game. The All-Ireland final defeat saw Mount Sion play Kilkenny and Leinster champions James Stephens. Ryan came on as a substitute, however, James Stephens won the game by 3–13 to 3–8.
After surrendering their club title the following year, Ryan added a second county championship medal to his collection in 1983.
A 0–16 to 0–10 defeat of Lismore in the 1986 county decider gave Ryan a third championship medal.
Two years later he won his fourth medal following a 2–15 to 3–8 defeat of Ballygunner.
