John Egan (21 January 1921 - 2 December 1994) was an Irish hurler.
His league and championship career with the Kilkenny senior hurling team lasted just one season.
He quickly developed a love for hurling and was a member of the Threecastles team that won the Kilkenny Junior Championship in 1940.
On 7 September 1947, Egan won an All-Ireland Championship medal at senior level, as understudy to Jim Donegan, following a one-point defeat of Cork in the final.
Egan completed his medal collection in 1965 when he lined out with Cootehill who won the Cavan Senior Championship.
