Tadhg O'Connor (born 1948) is an Irish former hurling manager and former player who played as a right wing-back for the Tipperary senior team.
O'Connor made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team, O'Connor won two Railway Cup medals.
O'Connor has been involved in team management and coaching in all grades at club level with Roscrea.
In 1968 O'Connor was a key member of the Roscrea senior team that made a long overdue breakthrough and claimed the championship for the very first time.
Roscrea retained the title in 1969, with O'Connor winning a second championship medal following a 4-13 to 0-5 defeat of Carrick Davins.
The win gave O'Connor an All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship medal.
His tenure in this grade was short-lived as Tipperary exited the provincial championship at the hands of Galway.
O'Connor was added to the extended Tipperary senior panel in 1968, however, he didn't make his championship debut until 21 June 1970 in a 2-9 to 0-5 Munster semi-final defeat of Waterford.
On 5 September 1971 Tipperary faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final, the first to be broadcast in colour by Telefís Éireann and the only eighty-minute meeting between the two sides.
Limerick were the opponents for the second time in three years, however, on this occasion O'Connor ended up on the losing side.
Two years late rin 1976 O'Connor captured his first Railway Cup medal as Munster stopped a Leinster six in-a-row.
