Séamus Harnedy (born 17 July 1990) is an Irish hurler who plays as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.

Born in Gortroe near Youghal, County Cork, Harnedy first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Pobalscoil na Tríonóide. Although he never played in the minor or under-21 grades at inter-county level, he first came to prominence at the age of twenty when he joined the Cork senior team for the 2011 Waterford Crystal Cup. Harnedy made his senior championship debut during the 2013 championship, and has since won an All Star Award and won one Munster medal. He has been an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Harnedy plays hurling with St. Ita's and Gaelic football with Glenbower Rovers.

Harnedy's mother, Cathy Landers, was an All-Ireland-winning captain with the Cork camogie team, while his father, Seán Harnedy, played with the Waterford team.

In 2007 Harnedy was just seventeen years old when he lined out with St. Ita's against Castlemagner in the final of the junior "B" championship. A point from centre-back and team captain Michael Cronin three minutes into injury time saved St Ita's and secured an 0-11 apiece draw. The subsequent replay saw St. Ita's secure a 0-12 to 0-7 victory, giving Harnedy a championship medal.

During his tenure at University College Cork, Harnedy played a key role for the university's various hurling teams.
