Joseph Delahunty (18 March 1888 – 11 March 1966) was an Irish hurler. Usually lining out as a half-back, he was a member of the Kilkenny team that won the 1909 All-Ireland Championship.^[1]

Delahunty played his club hurling with Mooncoin and enjoyed much success in a twelve-year career. He won his first county championship medal in 1906 before adding a second in 1908. Delahunty ended his club career with three successive championship titles between 1916 and 1918.^{[citation needed]}

After missing Kilkenny's Leinster final defeat of Laois, Delahunty was added to the team for the subsequent All-Ireland final against Tipperary. A 4-06 to 0-12 victory gave him his sole All-Ireland medal.^{[citation needed]}

Delahunty was married to Anastasia (née Fewer) from 1926 until her death in 1963. He died after a short illness on 11 March 1966.^{[citation needed]}
