Kieran Joyce (born 4 April 1987) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a right wing-back for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Portlaoise, County Laois, Joyce first played competitive hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team before later joining the under-21 and intermediate sides. He joined the senior panel during the 2011 championship. Buckley immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won three All-Ireland medals, two Leinster medals and three National Hurling League medals.
At club level Joyce is an All-Ireland medallist in the intermediate grade with Rower-Inistioge. In addition to this he has also won one Leinster medal and one championship medal.
In 2011 Joyce was captain of the University of Limerick team that reached the final of the inert-varsities championship. Local rivals Limerick Institute of Technology provided the opposition and led by nine points on two separate occasions in the first half. UL were transformed in the second half, even after being reduced to fourteen men after the dismissal of Willie Hyland. A 1-17 to 2-11 victory gave Joyce a Fitzgibbon Cup medal.
In 2013 Joyce's club Rower-Inistioge faced Emeralds in the intermediate championship decider. The Rower started and finished strongly as they got the better of Emeralds in a tense decider. The 2-13 to 2-11 victory gave Joyce a championship medal. The Rower subsequently secured the Leinster crown following a narrow 1-9 to 0-10 defeat of Buffers Alley. On 8 February 2014 Rower-Inistioge faced Kilnadeema-Leitrim in the All-Ireland decider. Extra time was needed to separate the sides, however, Joyce collected a coveted All-Ireland medal following a 1-16 to 1-9 victory.
