William Patrick "Pat" Hone MC (28 August 1886 in Monkstown, County Dublin, Ireland – 28 February 1976 in Clondalkin, County Dublin) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, he played six times for the Ireland cricket team between 1909 and 1928, all of which were first-class matches.
The son of William Hone, himself an Irish international cricketer, Pat Hone was born in Monkstown, County Dublin in August 1886. He was educated at Wellington College, Berkshire in England before attending Dublin University for four years from 1907, where he captained their cricket team for two years.
He made his debut for the Ireland team on their tour of the United States of America in 1909, playing two matches against Philadelphia. He then played three matches against Scotland in 1910, 1913 and 1914, scoring 92 in the second innings of the 1913 match, his highest score for Ireland.
Hone served in the Royal Artillery in the First World War, reaching the rank of Captain and being awarded the Military Cross in September 1918 for "conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty" when he extinguished the flames of his artillery battery when it caught fire under heavy shelling.
