Walter "Wally" Walsh (born 25 May 1991) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.

Born in Rosbercon, County Kilkenny, Walsh first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. Walsh made his senior debut during the 2012 championship and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen. Since then he has won three All-Ireland medals, one Leinster medal and two National Hurling League medals.

At club level Walsh is a Leinster medalist at junior level with the Tullogher-Rosbercon club.

Walsh has enjoyed much success with Tullogher-Rosbercon during his short club career.

In 2008 Walsh was only seventeen years-old when he was a key forward on the club's top team. He won a Leinster medal that year as Wexford side Clongeen were accounted for on a score line of 1-19 to 3-8. Tullogher were subsequently beaten by Dripsey in the All-Ireland final.

Walsh first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kilkenny minor team in 2008. He won a Leinster medal that year before later lining out in the All-Ireland decider against Galway. Kilkenny were outplayed for much of the game, however, a late goal secured a 3-6 to 0-13 victory and an All-Ireland medal for Walsh.
