Seán Condon (1923 – 27 October 2001) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.
Condon joined the team during the 1942 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1951 championship. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals and three Munster medals. An All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion, Condon captained Cork to a fourth successive All-Ireland title in 1944.
At club level Condon was a four-time county club championship medalist with St. Finbarr's.
Condon played his club hurling with St. Finbarr's and enjoyed much success.
He first played for the famous "Barr's" club in the minor grade and collected three successive championship medals in that grade between 1939 and 1941.
In 1942 Condon played in his first senior county final with "the Barr's". Ballincollig, a team who had defeated nine-in-a-row hopefuls Glen Rovers in the semi-final, provided the opposition. St. Finbarr's made no mistake and powered to a 5–7 to 2–2. It was Condon's first championship medal.
Both St. Finbarr's and Ballincollig met in the championship decider again the following year. A 3–3 apiece draw, thanks to a late goal by Condon, was the result on that occasion, however, St. Finbarr's made no mistake in the replay and powered to a 7–9 to 1–1 victory. It was Condon's second championship medal.
Three-in-a-row proved beyond St. Finbarr's as Glen Rovers claimed victory in the championship decider in 1944. Both sides lined out in opposition to each other again two years later. Condon was singled out for special praise and collected a third championship medal following a 2–3 to 2–1 defeat of their north side rivals.
