Patrick O'Driscoll (1927 – 19 October 2001[1]) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right corner-back at senior level for the Cork county team. He was named in the "Cork Football Team of the Millennium" in January 2000.[2][3]

O'Driscoll joined the team during the 1950 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement a decade later. During that time he won two National League medals and two Munster medals, however, he never won an All-Ireland winners' medal.[4]

He had a lengthy career with the Russell Rovers and Garda club teams.

In retirement from playing O'Driscoll served as an administrator with the Cork County Board and was also a selector when Cork won the All-Ireland in 1973.
