Seánie McGrath (born 1975) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Mayfield, Cork, McGrath first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Mayfield Community School. 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 side. He made his senior debut during the 1997 championship. McGrath went on to win one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team McGrath won three Railway Cup medals. At club level he enjoyed a lengthy career with Glen Rovers.
Throughout his inter-county career McGrath made 17 championship appearances for Cork. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 2003 championship.
In retirement from playing McGrath became involved in team management and coaching. He is currently a selector with the Cork senior team, having earlier served with the Cork minor team.
In 1997 McGrath was a key member of the University College Cork hurling team. As host of the Fitzgibbon Cup that year, UCC reached the final where they faced the Garda Síochána College. A 0–14 to 1–8 victory gave McGrath his first Fitzgibbon Cup medal.
McGrath won a second Fitzgibbon Cup medal in 1998, as UCC defeated Waterford Institute of Technology by 2–17 to 0–13.
