Seánie Barry (born 1945) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left wing-forward for the Cork senior team.

Born in Rathcormac, County Cork, Barry first played competitive hurling during his schooling at St Finbarr's College, Farranferris. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team before later joining the under-21 and intermediate sides. He made his senior debut during the 1966 championship. Barry immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and won one All-Ireland medal and two Munster medals.

As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Barry won one Railway Cup medal as a non-playing substitute. At club level he played with Bride Rovers, Sarsfield's and University College Cork.

Throughout his career Barry made 12 championship appearances. His retirement came prior to the start of the 1971 championship.

In retirement from playing Barry became involved in team management and coaching. He served as coach at various levels with Bride Rovers.

Barry first played for Cork as a member of the minor hurling team in 1962. He was sub goalie on the team that year, however, Cork exited the championship after the provincial decider. Barry was at wing-forward the following year, however, Cork's championship campaign also ended prematurely.

In 1965 Barry joined the Cork intermediate team. He won a Munster medal that year after making his debut in 1-15 to 3-2 provincial final defeat of Waterford. On 20 September 1965 Cork faced London in the All-Ireland decider. A 2-20 to 5-5 victory gave Cork the title and gave Barry an All-Ireland medal.
