Patrick "Paddy" Moran (born 1939) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a midfielder for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Bennettsbridge, County Kilkenny, Moran first played competitive hurling during his schooling at St. Kieran's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team. He made his senior debut during the 1961 championship. Moran subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen and won four All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions Moran won three Railway Cup medals. At club level he is an eight-time championship medallist with Bennettsbridge.
Throughout his career Moran made 26 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1972 championship.
Moran was still eligible for the minor grade when he made his senior debut with the Bennettsbridge senior team in 1956. He was at right wing-back as the Bridge faced John Lockes in the championship decider. John Lockes had a goal disallowed by an umpire, a factor which contributed to a 2-8 to 3-3 victory for Bennettsbridge. It was Moran's first championship medal.
After failing to retain their title, Bennettsbridge qualified for the county decider again in 1959. A 4-6 to 1-4 defeat of Erin's Own gave Moran a second championship medal.
