Patrick (Paddy) McMahon Glynn KC (25 August 1855 – 28 October 1931) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Australian House of Representatives from 1901 to 1919, representing South Australia (1901-1903) and Angas (1903-1919) for the Free Trade Party and its successors the Anti-Socialist Party, Commonwealth Liberal Party and Nationalist Party. In federal politics, he served variously as Attorney-General (1909-1910), Minister for External Affairs (1913-1914) and Minister for Home and Territories (1917-1920).
He had previously been a member of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1887 to 1890, representing Light, and 1895 to 1896 and 1897 to 1901, representing North Adelaide. This had included a brief stint as Attorney-General of South Australia in the Solomon Ministry of 1899.
Glynn was born in Gort, County Galway, Ireland and educated at the French College, Blackrock and Trinity College, Dublin. Glynn graduated with a BA and LLB, and was the medallist for Oratory at the Law Students Debating Society of Ireland in 1880. The same year saw Glynn immigrate to Australia.
