Thomas "Tom" Cashman (born 28 August 1957) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left wing-back for the Cork senior team.
Born in Blackrock, Cork, Cashman first excelled at Gaelic games whilst at school in the North Monastery. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor teams as a dual player, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1977 championship. Cunningham went on to play a key part for over a decade, and won four All-Ireland medals, eight Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals. An All-Ireland-winning captain in 1986, he was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
Cashman represented the Munster inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, winning three Railway Cup medals. At club level he won one All-Ireland medals, two Munster medal and three championship medals with Blackrock.
Throughout his career Cashman made 36 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1988 championship.
Cashman is widely regarded as one of Cork's greatest hurling servants. Throughout his career he won three All-Star awards. He has been repeatedly voted onto teams made up of the sport's greats, including as left wing-back on the Cork Hurling Team of the Century in 2000.
