Anthony Daly (born 1970) is a former Irish hurling manager and hurler.

Anthony Daly was appointed manager of the Clare senior hurling team in October 2003 and held that position until his resignation on August 19, 2006. (Tony Considine was appointed his successor on October 10, 2006.) During his tenure, Daly took Clare to the All-Ireland semi-finals in 2005 and 2006, narrowly missing out on a spot in the All-Ireland final in the former year. In some ways he tried to reignite some of the spirit of the Clare team of the 1990s under the management of Ger Loughnane. Daly, a former bank official and publican who also runs a sport shop in Ennis, had a great hurling career himself. He made his senior inter-county debut against Limerick in 1990 and was appointed captain of the side two years later in 1992. He remained captain for eight consecutive seasons until his retirement in 2000. A wing-back of outstanding ability, Daly won 2 All-Ireland medals in 1995 and 1997, as well as several Munster medals. Daly was also the winner of Harty Cup and All-Ireland senior colleges medals with St Flannan's of Ennis, as well as representing Clare at minor and Under-21 inter-county levels.
