Paul Joseph Priddy (born 11 July 1953) is an English former professional football goalkeeper who played in the Football League for Brentford and Wimbledon. Priddy holds the record as Aldershot Town's oldest-ever player, making an appearance in 1999 at the age of 45 years and 270 days.
A goalkeeper, Priddy began his career at Fulham, where he was also a member of the ground staff at Craven Cottage. He was released without making an appearance and dropped into non-league football to join Isthmian League side Hayes. He managed just one appearance on the opening day of the 1971–72 season before departing to join Athenian League Premier Division club Maidenhead United, where he remained until the end of the season.
Priddy moved up to the Football League to sign amateur forms with newly promoted Division Three side Brentford during the 1972–73 pre-season. Despite being signed as cover for Gordon Phillips, Priddy signed a professional contract in October 1972 and held onto the number one jersey for much of the 1972–73 season, but a run of just five wins in 22 games saw the Bees relegated straight back to Division Four. The loan signing of Steve Sherwood saw Priddy lose his place and he departed Griffin Park in 1974, having made 54 appearances.
