William Cody (24 July 1915 – 21 October 2001) was an Irish hurling selector and Gaelic games administrator. In the early 1960s Cody became involved with the James Stephens club and helped to establish a youth section at the club with Georgie Leahy. The club won several under-16 championships in both hurling and Gaelic football, four county minor championships from six successive final appearances as well as two county under-21 championships. Cody was married to Annie Hoyne and had nine children. His son, Brian Cody, is an All-Ireland-winning captain and manager with Kilkenny.
