Pádraig Horan (born 21 April 1950) is an Irish former hurler who played as a full-forward for the Offaly senior hurling team.
Horan made his first appearance for the team during the 1968–69 National League and subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1986 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, four Leinster medals and one All Stars Award. Horan captained Offaly to their very first All-Ireland title in 1981.
At club level Horan is a three-time Leinster medalist with St. Rynagh's. In addition to this he has also won eleven county club championship medals.
In retirement from playing Horan became involved in team management and coaching. At club level he has managed his own club St. Rynagh's as well as Birr. Horan has also managed the Offaly and Laois senior inter-county teams.
Horan's sons, Cathal and Diarmuid, also played hurling with Offaly.
Horan enjoyed much success with St. Rynagh's in a club career that spanned three decades.
In 1968 he was just out of the minor grade when he won his first championship medal in the senior grade. A 1–12 to 3–4 defeat of Coolderry was the first of three championship titles in succession for St. Rynagh's. In 1970 Horan added a Leinster medal to his collection following a 4–10 to 2–9 defeat of Rathnure. St. Rynagh's later faced Roscrea in the inaugural All-Ireland final, however, Horan's side were defeated by 4–5 to 2–5.
