Patrick Barry (born 27 August 1941) is an Irish former hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Cork senior team.
Barry was a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, however, he never won a Railway Cup medal.
Barry came to prominence as a hurler with the North Monastery, while simultaneously lining out at underage levels with the St Vincent's club.
A spell in hospital cost him his place on the team, however, he became Cork's first-choice goalkeeper for the 1963 Munster Championship and made his debut on 26 May 1963 in a 4-15 to 2-11 defeat of Clare.
The following year, Barry lined out in his first Munster final, however, he ended the game on the losing side after a 3-13 to 1-05 defeat by Tipperary.
He collected a second provincial winners' medal later that season when Cork secured the title after a 4-09 to 0-09 victory over Tipperary in the 1969 Munster final.
He took over the captaincy of the team shortly after this and claimed a second successive Munster Championship medal - his third overall - after a two-point win over Tipperary.
Barry later led Cork to the 1970 All-Ireland final and claimed a second winners' medal as well as having the honour of lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup after the 6-21 to 5-10 defeat of Wexford in the first 80-minute decider.

[6][7] Barry won a fourth National League medal in 1974 after a 6-15 to 1-12 defeat of Limerick, however, he became embroiled in controversy in Cork's opening game against Waterford in the 1974 Munster Championship.
