John Kiely (born 1972) is an Irish hurling manager and former hurler and Gaelic footballer. He has been the manager of the Limerick senior team since September 2016.[1]

Born in Galbally, County Limerick, Kiely first excelled at hurling and Gaelic football in his youth. After beginning his club career at juvenile and underage levels, he later became a dual player at senior level with the Galbally and Garryspillane teams. Kiely won a total of three championship medals across both codes.

Kiely made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he joined the Limerick minor hurling team. After little success in this grade he later joined the under-21 team but also enjoyed an unsuccessful tenure. Kiely was a member of the extended Limerick panel in 1994 before later winning a Munster medal as a non-playing substitute in 1996. He later captained the Limerick senior football team.

In retirement from playing Kiely has become involved in team management and coaching. After managing the Limerick intermediate team for two seasons, he was a Munster final-winning selector with both the Limerick under-21 and senior teams in 2011 and 2013 respectively. As manager of the Limerick under-21 team in 2015, Kiely guided the team to an All-Ireland title.[2]
