Anthony "Tony" Doran (born April 1946) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Wexford senior team.
Born in Boolavogue, County Wexford, Doran first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Wexford minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel during the 1964–65 National League. Doran went on to play a key part for the team over the next two decades, and won one All-Ireland medal, four Leinster medals and two National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Doran won seven Railway Cup medals. At club level he is a one-time All-Ireland medallist with Buffer's Alley. In addition to this he also won three Leinster medals and twelve championship medals in a career that spanned thirty years.
Doran's career tally of 41 goals and 57 points marks him out as Wexford's second highest championship scorer of all-time.
Throughout his inter-county career, Doran made 40 championship appearances for Wexford. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1984 championship.
His brother, Colm, also enjoyed a lengthy career with Wexford.
Doran is widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards of his era and has often been voted onto teams made up of the sport's greats. He was chosen at full-forward on the All-Ireland club hurling silver jubilee team in 1996, before later claiming the same position on a specially-chosen greatest ever Wexford side in 2002.
