Willie Fitzmaurice (born 4 December 1946) was a hurler from Killeedy, south of Limerick, who played with the Limerick teams in the 1970s and 1980s
In 1998, he became a county team selector along with former teammates Éamonn Cregan and David Punch and advocated the retention of the back-door system.
He was the parish priest in Kilmallock in 2008; as such he celebrated the mass of his deceased niece, Elizabeth Gubbins, who died in the controversial Vernelli hit-and-run case in Rome.
He is the brother of Limerick hurler Paudie Fitzmaurice.
