Pat O'Doherty (born 20 February 1966) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Parramatta Eels and Gold Coast Seagulls.
Born and raised in Ipswich, O'Doherty's brothers Bill, Donald and Bernard and Hugh all played for Valleys in the Brisbane Rugby League premiership.

However, with the arrival of new coach Warren Ryan and an influx of new players to Wests in 1991, O'Doherty signed a contract with the Gold Coast Seagulls.
He was named as a member of the preliminary train-on squad for the Queensland State of Origin side that year, but was not called upon to play any part in the series itself.
