Mick Ryan (2 June 1925–7 December 2007) was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling at various times with the Roscrea, Dicksboro, Blackrock and St Finbarr's clubs and was a member at senior level of the Tipperary county team from 1946 until 1954.

Mick Ryan was born in Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1925. He played inter-county hurling for his native, Tipperary from 1946 to 1955, picking up three All Ireland Senior Hurling Championships in a row. He played for various clubs in Tipperary, Kilkenny and Cork. Ryan also played Gaelic football for St. John's, after moving to Kilkenny after World War II, and for Clonakilty after moving to Cork in the 1950s, picking up a Kilkenny Senior Football Championship and a Cork Senior Football Championship. After retiring from GAA (Gaelic Athletics Association) Ryan started playing golf. In 1955, Ryan purchased Frankfield House, and worked the farmland around the area. In the late 1970s, Ryan built an extension to the house, and licensed it for the sale of alcohol. Ryan also transformed the land around into a golf course, which was established in 1981. The official golf club was set up in 1984, which Ryan competed for in many competitions. Mick Ryan died on 7 December 2007, aged 82 years old.
