The Kilkenny–Offaly rivalry is a hurling rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Kilkenny and Offaly, who first played each other in 1899. Kilkenny's home ground is Nowlan Park and Offaly's home ground is O'Connor Park.

While Kilkenny are regarded as one of the "big three" of hurling, with Cork and Tipperary completing the trio, Offaly are ranked joint seventh in the all-time roll of honour and have enjoyed sporadic periods of dominance at various stages throughout the history of the championship. The two teams have won a combined total of 39 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship titles.
