Jarlath "Cha" Whelan (7 September 1939 – 22 March 1996) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-back for the Kilkenny and London senior teams.

Born in Thomastown, County Kilkenny, Whelan first played hurling without success during his school days. Although never playing minor hurling at inter-county level, he arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-one when he made his senior debut in the 1960-61 National Hurling League. Whelan later played with London, but returned to Kilkenny and made several cameo appearances over the following four years, winning one All-Ireland medal and one Leinster medal on the field of play.^[1]^[2]

At club level Whelan began and ended his career with Thomastown.^[3] He also played with Faughs in Dublin and won one championship medal with Seán McDermott's in London.

Whelan retired from inter-county hurling after winning a second All-Ireland medal as a non-playing substitute in the 1967 championship
