Pat Hegarty (born 1947) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Cork senior team.
Hegarty joined the team during the 1968-69 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1975 championship.
Cork later faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider and Hegarty was moved from centre-back to the half-forward line.
While Cork were leading coming into the last quarter, Kilkenny scored five unanswered points in the last seven minutes to win by 2-15 to 2-9.
Cork later qualified for the All-Ireland final with Wexford providing the opposition in the very first eighty-minute championship decider.
Cork dominated the early exchanges and went eight points clear after a long-range score from wing-back Con Roche in the 17th minute of the second half.
Kilkenny took control with Pat Henderson a key figure at centre-back and Eddie Keher cutting loose up front.
[2] Hegarty won his fourth and final National League medal as Cork defeated Limerick on a huge score line of 6-15 to 1-12.
The following year Hegarty won his fourth Munster medal following a 3-14 to 0-12 defeat of reigning provincial champions Limerick.
