Anthony "Tony" O'Shaughnessy (6 July 1930 - 15 December 2006) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Cork senior team.
Born in Cork, O'Shaughnessy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-one when he first linked up with the Cork senior team. He made his debut during the 1952 championship. O'Shaughnessy immediately became a regular member of the team and won three All-Ireland medals, three Munster medals and one National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions O'Shaughnessy won two Railway Cup medals. At club level he won a combined total of three championship medals as a dual player with St. Finbarr's.
Throughout his career O'Shaughnessy made 15 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1957 championship.
In retirement from playing O'Shaughnessy became involved in team management and coaching. He was a selector with Cork's All-Ireland-winning team in 1966.
O'Shaughnessy first played for Cork when he made his senior debut on 22 June 1952 in a 6-6 to 2-4 Munster semi-final defeat of Limerick. He later won his first Munster medal courtesy of a late Paddy Barry goal which secured a 1-11 to 2-6 defeat of four-in-a-row hopefuls Tipperarymedal. On 7 September 1952 Cork faced Dublin in the All-Ireland decider. An appendicitis ruled Joe Hartnett out of the game, resulting in Willie John Daly being switched to centre-forward. Liam Dowling scored a vital goal in the first half to give Cork the interval lead. Dublin's attack collapsed in the second half as Dowling scored a second goal. The 2-14 to 0-7 victory gave O'Shaughnessy his first All-Ireland medal.
