Dinny Lanigan, born Denis Lanigan and living from 24 July 1891 to 18 September 1966, was an Irish hurler from Gortnahoe, County Tipperary, who played as a left wing-back at senior level for the Limerick county team. He joined the Limerick senior team at twenty-two and made his senior debut in the 1916 Thomond Feis, playing a key part for Limerick during a golden age for the team and winning two All-Ireland medals and three Munster medals, with one All-Ireland runner-up finish. At club level he won five championship medals with Young Irelands. He retired after the 1926 championship and then became involved in Gaelic Athletic Association administration, serving as secretary of the Limerick County Board and vice-president of the Munster Council, and also served as an inter-county referee.
