John Costigan (born 1945) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right corner-back for the Tipperary senior team.[1]

Costigan joined the team during the 1968 championship and was a semi-regular member of the team until he retired from inter-county hurling after the 1972 championship. During that time he won one Munster winners' medal and one National Hurling League winners' medal.[2] He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Costigan played with the Clonakenny club.
