Cian Lynch (born 3 January 1996) is an Irish hurler who plays as a centre forward for Limerick Championship club Patrickswell, where he has held the role of captain, and the Limerick senior team. Recognised for his skill level and team play, he is widely considered one of the best players in the current game and has often been described as a "midfield magician". He is also one of only two players to win the 'hurler of the year' award more than once, with the only other player to do so being Henry Shefflin with three wins.

Lynch began his inter-county career at minor level with Limerick in 2012, with whom he won back-to-back Munster Minor Championship titles in his last two years with the team. In 2014, he joined the Limerick under-21 team and was integral in the team's All-Ireland Under-21 Championship wins in 2015 and 2017. Lynch joined the Limerick senior team for the 2015 season. He has since won four All-Ireland Championship titles, three Munster Championship titles and two National Hurling League titles with the team. In 2020, he had a significant role in Limerick becoming the first team since Tipperary in 1961 to have a 100% winning record in all competitions in a single season.

Lynch made his senior club championship debut with Patrickswell as a 17-year-old in 2013 and has since established himself as one of the mainstays of the team. He was a member of the Patrickswell team that won County Championship titles in 2016 and 2019.

Lynch has been named on the GAA–GPA All-Star Team and the Sunday Game Team of the Year three times each and the Under-21 Team of the Year twice. He was also named GAA–GPA Player of the Month in his first championship season and was GAA–GPA All-Star Hurler of the Year in 2018 and 2021.
