Jer Doheny, born Jeremiah Doheny and living from 20 July 1874 to 11 August 1929, was an Irish hurler from Ballycallan, County Kilkenny, who played as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team and captained Kilkenny to its first All-Ireland victory in 1904. He first played hurling in his youth, made his senior debut during the 1893 championship and became a regular over the next decade, winning one All-Ireland medal and eight Leinster medals, with four All-Ireland runner-up finishes. At club level he was a ten-time championship medallist with Tullaroan and Johnstown, and he also played with Threecastles. He retired from inter-county hurling during the 1905 championship and then served in administration as chairman of the Kilkenny County Board.
