Pádraig Walsh (born 12 March 1992) is an Irish hurler who plays as a right wing-back for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Tullaroan, County Kilkenny, Walsh first played competitive hurling whilst at school in St. Kieran's College. 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 side. He joined the senior panel during the 2012 league. Since then Walsh has become a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won two All-Ireland medals, two Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal.
At club level Walsh plays with Tullaroan.
Walsh's grandfather, Paddy Grace, as well as his brother, Tommy, have also enjoyed All-Ireland success with Kilkenny. His sister, Grace, is a key member of the Kilkenny senior camogie team.
During his schooling at St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny, Walsh established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 2010 he won a Leinster medal following a 3-13 to 1-11 defeat of Dublin Colleges. On 3 April 2010 St. Kieran's faced Ardscoil Rís in the All-Ireland decider. Walsh's side trailed by five points as the game entered the final quarter, however, St. Kieran's staged a magnificent comeback, hitting 1-5 without reply including a Michael Brennan goal in the 51st minute, to claim a 2-11 to 2-8 victory. The victory gave Walsh an All-Ireland medal.
