Paul Kelly (born 14 December 1979) is an Irish hurler who plays for his local club Mullinahone and at senior level for the Tipperary county team.
He was educated locally and attended Scoil Riain Killenaule Vocational School which has produced many Tipperary Hurlers.
Although losing out to Cork in the Munster Final in 2005, Kelly scored 7 points from his midfield position and was named RTÉ's 'man of the match.'
Kelly has also won 2 Under-21 caps for Ireland in the Shinty Internationals against Scotland.
In April 2010, Kelly broke his ankle in a club match, jeopardising his participation in the 2010 All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.
