John Joseph Callanan (10 March 1894 – 19 December 1970) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Tipperary and Dublin senior teams.

Born in Thurles, County Tipperary, Callanan first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-four when he first linked up with the Tipperary senior team. He joined the senior panel during the 1918 championship and was a regular member of the Tipperary and Dublin teams at various times for over a decade. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, two Leinster medals and one Munster medal.[1][2][3] The All-Ireland-winning captain in 1930, Callanan was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

As a member of the Munster inter-provincial Callanan won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he was a one-time championship medallist with Thurles Sarsfields while he also played with Collegians.

Callanan retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1930 championship.
