Patrick Joseph Hooper (1 June 1873 – 6 September 1931) was an Irish politician, barrister and journalist.
He was born in Cork in 1873, the son of John Hooper, who was also a politician and journalist. In 1915 was called to the English and Welsh bar by Gray's Inn. Hooper was the last editor of the Freeman's Journal. Imprisoned for a month in 1920 along with Fitzgerald and Edwards, for publishing an article about British Army/Black and Tans brutality.
He was an independent member of Seanad Éireann from 1927 to 1931. He was elected at a by-election on 23 March 1927 taking the seat vacated by the death of Martin Fitzgerald, a former proprietor of the Freeman's Journal.
