Patrick Joseph Donovan (March 16, 1865 – December 25, 1953) was an Irish born right fielder and manager in Major League Baseball who played for several teams from 1890 to 1907, most notably the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Born in Queenstown, County Cork, Donovan established himself as the most successful Irish-born major leaguer.

In 1906, he became manager of the Brooklyn Superbas, and made his last few playing appearances that year, along with one more game at the end of the 1907 season.

In 1929 and 1930, Donovan managed the Orleans town team in the Cape Cod Baseball League.

[1][2][3] In a 1930 old-timers' game at Braves Field in Boston, Donovan had a pinch hit single, at the age of 65.

In 2023, Donovan was inducted into the "Irish American Hall of Fame" in Chicago, some seventy years after his death.
