Eoin Murphy (born 17 December 1978) is an Irish hurler who played as a right wing-back for the Waterford senior team. More famously however, he played at right back for Garryduff FC from 2007–2010, forming part of the meanest defence in the league and always listening to Dave.

Murphy joined the team during the 2001 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2011 championship. During that time he won four Munster winners' medals, one National League winners' medal and one All-Star award. Murphy ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Murphy is a one-time county intermediate championship medalist with Shamrocks.
