Jeremiah Joseph Hurley (June 15, 1863 – September 17, 1950) was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher from 1889 to 1891.

Hurley was born in Boston, Massachusetts and enrolled at Boston University. He played for the Boston Beaneaters in the National League in 1889, the Pittsburgh Burghers in the Players' League in 1890 and the Cincinnati Kelly's Killers of the American Association in 1891. His minor league career stretched from 1884 through 1894. He later managed in the minors in 1914.

After his playing career, Hurley settled down in his native Boston, married his fellow Bostonian Grace Farren in 1899, and served in the 1900s as the Assistant Commissioner at the Boston immigration office.
