Liam Watson (born 1983) is a hurler who currently plays as a star for Loughgiel Shamrocks GAC.

Watson made his first appearance for Antrim during the 2002 championship and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen. Since then he has won eleven Ulster medals, one National League (Division 2) medal and one Christy Ring Cup medal as a non-playing substitute.

At club level Watson is an All-Ireland medalist with Loughgiel Shamrocks. He has also won four Ulster medals and fourcounty club championship medals. In March 2012 he scored 3-7 when he won the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship with Loughgiel Shamrocks after a 4-13 to 0-17 defeat of Coolderry in the final.[1]

In February 2014, Watson confirmed through Twitter that he had been approached by Dublin to play for them as he has continued to be omitted from the Antrim senior setup.
