'''James Guerin''' (20 October 1894 – 16 December 1918) was an Irish [hurler](/source/hurling). At club level he played with [Newmarket-on-Fergus](/source/Newmarket-on-Fergus_GAA) and [Ballycar](/source/Ballycar_GAA), and also lined out at inter-county level with the [Clare senior hurling team](/source/Clare_senior_hurling_team).

He was part of the Newmarket team that succeeded in winning their very first [Clare SHC](/source/Clare_Senior_Hurling_Championship) title in 1912. He claimed a second winners' medal in 1916, before transferring to the newly-established [Ballycar](/source/Ballycar_GAA) club.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nofgaa.com/2016/06/30/jim-guerin/|title=Jim Guerin|publisher=Newmarket-on-Fergus GAA website|date=30 June 2016|access-date=16 July 2023|first=|last=}}</ref> Guerin's performances at club level quickly earned him a call-up to the [Clare senior hurling team](/source/Clare_senior_hurling_team). After missing Clare's successful [Munster SHC](/source/Munster_Senior_Hurling_Championship) campaign in 1914, he was a late addition to the team for the subsequent [1914 All-Ireland final](/source/1914_All-Ireland_Senior_Hurling_Championship_final) against [Laois](/source/Laois_GAA). Guerin scored three goals in the 5-01 to 1-00 victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gaa.ie/centenary/all-ireland-winners/1914-gaa-hurling-champions/photo|title=Clare (Quin) 1914 Hurling All-Ireland Champions|publisher=GAA website|date=|access-date=16 July 2023|first=|last=|archive-date=16 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230716134357/https://www.gaa.ie/centenary/all-ireland-winners/1914-gaa-hurling-champions/photo|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://clarechampion.ie/the-memory-lives-100-years-on/|title=The memory lives 100 years on|date=9 March 2014|publisher=The Clare Champion|accessdate=11 February 2021|first=|last=}}</ref> His last game for Clare was a defeat by [Limerick](/source/Limerick_GAA) in the [1918 Munster final](/source/1918_All-Ireland_Senior_Hurling_Championship).
