Pat Daly (4 December 1927 – 1 January 2003), also known as Paddy Daly was an Irish former footballer who played as a centre half.
He joined Shamrock Rovers in 1948 as a defender. He also had a brief spell in England with Aston Villa in the 1949–50 season playing just three games for the Birmingham-based club.
He won his one and only senior cap for the Republic of Ireland national football team on 8 September 1949 in a 3–0 win over Finland in Dalymount Park, Dublin in a World Cup Qualifying game. Daly's appearance that day was shrouded in controversy, however. The FAI had unwittingly infringed the rules of the World Cup tournament by bringing on a substitute, which at the time, prohibited players being replaced.
Daly represented the League of Ireland XI on 3 occasions while at Glenmalure Park.
