John "Tyler" Mackey (23 August 1882 – 2 December 1962) was an Irish hurler and Labour Party politician. Mackey played as a midfielder for the Limerick senior team.[1] He also represented the Labour party on Limerick County Council, having been elected in the Castleconnell electoral area.[2]
Mackey made his first appearance for the team during the 1901 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1917 championship. During that time he won two Munster medals, however, an All-Ireland medal eluded him.[3]
At club level Mackey was a one-time county championship medalist with Castleconnell.
Mackey's two sons, Mick and John, Jnr., won several All-Ireland medals throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
