Dominic Hannigan (born 15 July 1965) is a former Irish Labour Party politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Meath East constituency from 2011 to 2016. He was also a Senator for the Industrial and Commercial Panel from 2007 to 2011.
Hannigan was born in Drogheda, County Louth. He was educated at University College Dublin with a degree in Civil Engineering, at City University London with a Masters in Transport and at the University of London with a Masters in Finance. He emigrated from Ireland in the 1980s to look for work. Hannigan returned to Ireland and worked as a Civil engineer.
Hannigan entered electoral politics when he was elected as an independent councillor to Meath County Council for the Slane electoral area at the 2004 local elections, serving as chairperson of the council's Planning and Economic Development Committee. Hannigan subsequently joined the Labour Party in October 2004, and first stood for Dáil Éireann at the 2005 Meath by-election, which saw the Labour vote increase by over 3,000 first preference votes since the 2002 general election. His next election was the 2007 general election, again missing out on the third seat, this time to Thomas Byrne.
