Raymond Reidy (1937 – 10 June 2015) was an Irish hurler who played as centre-back for the Tipperary senior team.[1]

Born in Thurles, County Tipperary, Reidy first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Thurles CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team. He joined the senior panel during the 1956 championship. Reidy was a regular member of the team over the next few years and won one All-Ireland medal and one Munster medal as a non-playing substitute.[2]

At club level Reidy was a two-time championship medallist with Thurles Sarsfields.

Reidy's retirement came following the conclusion of the 1960 championship.

In retirement from playing Reidy became involved in team management and coaching, serving as a selector with the Tipperary senior team.
