James Edward Young (16 October 1915 – 23 August 1992) was an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer who played in various positions for the Cork senior teams.
Young was born in Dunmanway in 1915. He completed his primary education in the town before moving to St Finbarr's College, Farranferris, where he developed his hurling skills. He then spent a number of years in Maynooth before returning to University College Cork, where he studied medicine.
Young made his first appearance for the senior hurling team during the 1938 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1949 championship. During that time he won five All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) medals, six Munster SHC medals and three National Hurling League medals. Young was an All-Ireland SHC runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Young was an eight-time county hurling championship medalist with Glen Rovers. He also played football at club level with Dohenys.
Young's father, Jack, and his brother Éamonn, were All-Ireland medalists in football with Cork.
