Ned Wheeler was an Irish hurler who lived from 1932 until his death on 6 June 2019 and played for the Wexford Senior Championship club Faythe Harriers. He played for the Wexford senior hurling team for 16 years, usually at midfield but also at full-forward, and as a master of the overhead stroke, with his blonde hair and long, sweeping strides, he became a cult hero of Wexford hurling. He began his club career with St Martin's, won the Wexford Junior Hurling Championship in 1948, and with Faythe Harriers won the Wexford Senior Hurling Championship in 1960, 1962 and 1965. With Wexford he won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 1955, 1956 and 1960.
