James "Jimmy" O'Connell (born 1908) was an Irish hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Kilkenny senior team from 1932 until 1941.^[1]

Born in Kilkenny, O'Connell first excelled at hurling during his schooling at Terenure College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-four when he first linked up with the Kilkenny senior team. After a year as a substitute he made his debut in the 1932 championship. During his career O'Connell won three All-Ireland medals and five Leinster medals.^[2]^[3] He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.

O'Connell also represented the Leinster inter-provincial team at various times, winning two Railway Cup medals. At club level he enjoyed a lengthy career with Dicksboro.

His retirement came following Kilkenny's defeat by Dublin in the 1941 championship.
