Bartholomew Thornhill (1 January 1911 to 16 October 1970), better known as Batt Thornhill, was an Irish hurler and a long-time member of the Buttevant club. After winning an All-Ireland medal at junior level he was drafted onto the Cork senior team in 1939, quickly made the full-back position his own and made 22 championship appearances in a career that ended in 1944. He was part of four All-Ireland Championship-winning teams as Cork won a record-breaking four titles in a row between 1941 and 1944, and he also secured four Munster Championships and two National League titles.
