Michael "Mick" Morrissey (1932-1993) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-back for the Wexford and New York senior teams.
Born in St. Mullin's, County Carlow, Morrissey first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty three when he first linked up with the Wexford senior team. He made his senior debut in the 1954-55 National Hurling League. Morrissey went on to play a key part for Wexford during a golden age for the team, and won two All-Ireland medals, three Leinster medals and two National Hurling League medals.
At club level Morrissey played with Geraldine O'Hanrahan's.
Throughout his inter-county career, Morrissey made 17 championship appearances for Wexford. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1960 championship, however, he later spent a number of seasons playing with New York.
His brother, Luke, played hurling for Carlow.
In retirement from playing Morrissey became involved in team management and coaching. He served as trainer of the New York team in the early 1970s.
Morrissey played his club hurling with Geraldine O'Hanrahan's and enjoyed some success.
After losing the intermediate championship decider to Faythe Harriers in 1956, O'Hanrahan's bounced back to reach the final again in 1957. A 6-7 to 5-6 defeat of Shelmaliers gave Morrissey a championship medal.
