David O'Leary (1925 – 21 April 2005) was an Irish hurler who played at club level with Castletownroche, at divisional level with Avondhu and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. He usually lined out as a defender.
O'Leary first came to hurling prominence with the Castletownroche club.[2] In 1942 he was captain of the first minor hurling team to bring a North Cork title to the club. O'Leary progressed through the ranks and ended his career with three North Cork JAHC medals. In 1952 he was a member of the Avondhu team that became the first division to win the Cork SHC title.[3] This victory saw O'Leary being selected for the Cork senior hurling team and he was team captain when winning the National Hurling League title in 1953. He was a reserve when Cork beat Galway in the 1953 All-Ireland final.[4] A knee injury curtailed O'Leary's inter-county career after this, but he continued to play line out at club level and with the Cork junior team.[5]
O'Leary died in Fermoy, County Cork on 21 April 2005.[6]
