William Purcell (30 August 1961 to 14 August 2019) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior teams. Born in Johnstown, County Kilkenny, he first joined the inter-county scene at seventeen with the Kilkenny minor team and then the under-21 side, and he made his senior debut during the 1982 championship. His inter-county career was brief, but he won one Leinster medal on the field of play and two All-Ireland medals as a non-playing substitute, in 1982 and 1983. At club level he played with Fenians. His other honours include three Leinster under-21 medals, in 1980, 1981 and 1982, and two Leinster minor medals.
