John Brian Tobin (1949 – 1 July 2006) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Blackrock and was also a member of the Cork senior hurling team. He usually lined out as a full-back.
Tobin played at juvenile and underage levels with the Blackrock club before joining the club's senior team. He won two County Championship titles and was a part of the team that won the 1972 All-Ireland Club Championship.[1] Tobin first appeared on the inter-county scene during a five-year underage spell with Cork. After being a non-playing substitute on Cork's 1966 All-Ireland Minor Championship-winning team, he later won three successive All-Ireland Under-21 Championship titles between 1968 and 1970.[2] Tobin was drafted onto the Cork senior hurling team in 1968 and played a number of league and tournament games for Cork over the following few seasons, however, he failed to break onto the championship team.
Tobin died after a period of illness on 1 July 2006.[3]
