Michael Kenny (1893 – 25 June 1959) was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Galway senior team from 1922 until 1924.
Kenny made his first appearance for the team during the 1921 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen for the next three seasons. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal.[1] An All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion, Kenny captained Galway to their first All-Ireland title in 1923.
At club level Kenny was a five-time county club championship medalist with Tynagh.
