Martin Treacy (1936 – 4 June 2014) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Kilkenny senior team.[1]

Born in Bennettsbridge, County Kilkenny, Treacy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-three when he made his senior debut in the 1959 championship. Treacy went on to play a semi-regular part for Kilkenny over the next few years, and won one All-Ireland medal and two Leinster medals.[2][3]

At club level Treacy played with Bennesttsbridge, winning six championship medals.

His younger brother, Jim Treacy, also hurled with Kilkenny and captained the team to the All-Ireland title in 1967.

In retirement from playing Treacy became involved in administrative affairs and served with the Bennettsbridge club and the Kilkenny County Board.
