Liam Sheedy (born 24 October 1969) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left wing-back for the Tipperary senior team.
Born in Portroe, County Tipperary, Sheedy first played competitive hurling whilst at school in Nenagh CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team, before later lining out with the under-21, junior and intermediate sides. He made his senior debut in the 1989–90 National Hurling League. Sheedy went on to play a bit part for Tipperary over much of the next decade, and won one National Hurling League medal.
At club level Sheedy won one intermediate championship medal with Portroe.
Throughout his career Sheedy made just seven championship appearances. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1999 championship.
In retirement from playing, Sheedy became involved in team management and coaching at club, inter-county and inter-provincial levels. After guiding Tipperary to All-Ireland glory in the minor grade, he later guided the senior team to All-Ireland success in 2010. Sheedy also served as manager of the Munster inter-provincial team, while he has also acted in an advisory role with a number of different clubs.
Sheedy played his club hurling with his local club in Portroe and enjoyed some success. The highlight of his club hurling career came in 1990 when he captured a county title at intermediate level.
Sheedy first came to prominence on the inter-county scene in the early 1980s as a member of the Tipperary under-16 team. He won a Munster title at this level before later joining the county minor team. Here he enjoyed much more success, winning a Munster title with the team in 1987. Sheedy later lined out in the All-Ireland final with Leinster champions Offaly providing the opposition. It was a disappointing day for Tipp as Sheedy's side lost by 2–8 to 0–12.
