Colm Sheehan (born 1941) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a full-forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Ovens, County Cork, Sheehan first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the intermediate side. He made his senior debut during the 1965 championship. Sheehan immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and won one All-Ireland medal and one Munster medal. He is best known for being part of the Cork Senior Hurling team during the All-Ireland final in 1966 where he scored three goals against Kilkenny defeating the team by 3-9 to 1-10.
At club level Sheehan is a two-time championship medallist in the junior grade with Éire Óg.
His grandnephew, Ciarán Sheehan, is also an All-Ireland medallist with Cork in Gaelic football.
Throughout his career Sheehan made 9 championship appearances. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1968 championship.
Sheehan played his club hurling with his local Éire Óg side and enjoyed much success. In 1960 he was barely out of the minor ranks when he captured a Mid-Cork junior championship title following an eight-point drubbing of Ballincollig. It was the first of three divisional titles in-a-row for Sheehan and Éire Óg as Cloughduv and Ballincollig were subsequently defeated in the finals of 1961 and 1962. The latter win saw Éire Óg reach the final of the county junior championship. East Cork champions Carrigtwohill were the opponents, however, Éire Óg triumphed on a score line of 3-4 to 2-4.
