Kevin Ryan (born 1965) is an Irish former hurler who played in various positions for the Waterford senior hurling team.

Ryan made his first appearance for the team during the 1980–81 National League and became a regular member of the starting fifteen over the next decade. During that time he played a part in securing Waterford's promotion from Division 3 to the top flight of the National League. Ryan ended up as Munster runner-up on two occasions.

At club level Ryan is a multiple county club championship medalist with Mount Sion.

In retirement from playing Ryan became involved in team management. He first coached club sides Mount Sion and Oulart the Ballagh, before later serving as a selector and manager with the Waterford and Carlow senior hurling teams. He was appointed as the manager of the Offaly manager in 2017, and officially stepped down in 2018. He made a statement saying, "I feel my reappointment would be divisive and make progress for Offaly hurling extremely difficult."[1]
