James Guerin (20 October 1894 – 16 December 1918) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Newmarket-on-Fergus and Ballycar, and also lined out at inter-county level with the Clare senior hurling team.
Guerin first played hurling in his local area with the Newmarket-on-Fergus club. He was part of the Newmarket team that succeeded in winning their very first Clare SHC title in 1912. He claimed a second winners' medal in 1916, before transferring to the newly-established Ballycar club.[1] Guerin's performances at club level quickly earned him a call-up to the Clare senior hurling team. After missing Clare's successful Munster SHC campaign in 1914, he was a late addition to the team for the subsequent 1914 All-Ireland final against Laois. Guerin scored three goals in the 5-01 to 1-00 victory.[2] [3] His last game for Clare was a defeat by Limerick in the 1918 Munster final.
Guerin died on 16 December 1918 as a result of the 1918 flu pandemic.[4]
