Mossy O’Riordan was an Irish sportsperson who played hurling with the Cork senior inter-county team in the 1940s and 1950s.

O’Riordan first came to prominence with the Cork senior hurlers in the mid 1940s. He first tasted success in 1946 when he captured his first Munster title. This was later converted into a first All-Ireland medal following a victory over Kilkenny in the championship decider. The following year O’Riordan won a second Munster title, however, on this occasion Cork were defeated by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final. O’Riordan won a third provincial medal in 1952, before later collecting his second and final All-Ireland medal following a victory over Dublin in the final.
