Timothy "Tim" Joseph Ahearne (August 18, 1885 – November, 1968) was an Irish athlete who competed for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in the 1908 Summer Olympics.
He was born in Dirreen, Athea and died in Athea, Limerick and was the older brother of Daniel Ahearn.
Ahearne won the gold medal in the triple jump at the 1908 Summer Olympics held in London, while representing Great Britain and Ireland (as Ireland was not recognised separately at the time by the International Olympic Committee).
In the long jump competition he finished eight. He also participated in the standing long jump event but his result is unknown. In the 110 metre hurdles competition he was eliminated in the semi-finals.
