Martin Hanamy (born 1966) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Offaly senior team.
Martin made his first appearance for the team during the 1986-87 National League and remained a stalwart of the team until his retirement after the 1999 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals, one National League medals and three All-Star awards. In 1994 Hanamy captained the team to the All-Ireland title.
At club level Hanamy is a one-time Leinster medalist with the St. Ryangh's club. In addition to this he has also won four county club championship medals.
After enjoying some success in the various juvenile grades, Hanamy made the St. Ryangh's senior team by the mid-1980s. He won his first county club championship title in 1987 following a defeat of Seir Kieran.
In 1990 Hanamy was club captain when St. Ryangh's defeated Birr to give him a second county championship medal.
After surrendering the title, St. Ryangh's bounced back in 1992. A defeat of Lusmagh gave Hanamy his third county championship. He picked up a fourth winners' medal in 1993 as St. Rynagh's retained the title after a defeat of Birr. Hanamy later won a Leinster medal after a one-point defeat of Dicksboro.
Hanamy was selected for the Offaly minor and under 21 hurling sides. however, he was unlucky in missing out on a really big prize. In 1986, the Offaly minor hurlers won the All-Ireland title, however, Hanamy was 19 years old and not eligible to play.
