John Kenneally (18 June 1898 – 19 January 1957) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-forward for the Cork county team.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Kenneally won one Railway Cup medal.
Carrigtwohill provided the opposition; however, the Barr's played with a strong wind in the first half and were 2-1 ahead before Carrig's first score.
In spite of this, a narrow 5-3 to 4-4 score line secured the title for St Finbarr's and a first championship medal for Kenneally.
As the All-Ireland series was delayed by a year, Kenneally was withdrawn from the minor team by the senior selectors.
Kenneally later collected a second All-Ireland medal as a substitute as Cork secured the title following a three-game saga with Kilkenny.
On 19 January 1977, John died from a brain injury sustained in a hurling match in Blackrock, some 40 years earlier.
