The 1947 Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship was the 53rd staging of the Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kilkenny County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 11 May to 24 August 1947.

Thomastown were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Éire Óg in the semi-finals.[2][3][4]

The final was played on 24 August 1947 at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny, between Éire Óg and Tullaroan, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Éire Óg won the match by 3–10 to 0–13 to claim their fourth championship title overall and a first title in two years.[5][6]
