Ted O'Sullivan (born 1920) was an Irish hurler who played as full forward for the Cork senior team.
O'Sullivan joined the team during the 1939 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1943 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, two Munster medals and two National League medals. O'Sullivan was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level O'Sullivan was a two-time county club championship medalist with St. Finbarr's. He also played with Midleton and Blackrock.
O'Sullivan began his club hurling career with Midleton. He enjoyed little success here and later transferred to Blackrock before moving to the St. Finbarr's club.
In 1942 O'Sullivan played in his first 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 O'Sullivan's first championship medal.
Both St. Finbarr's and Ballincollig met in the championship decider again the following year. A 3-3 apiece draw 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 O'Sullivan's second championship medal.
