Patrick Francis Kelleher (12 December 1891 – 19 June 1958) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Shamrocks and was also a member of the Cork senior hurling team.
Kelleher first played hurling at club level with the Shamrocks club. He first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork junior hurling team at various stages between 1911 and 1915.[2] Kelleher joined the Cork senior hurling team during the team's successful 1919 Munster SHC campaign.[3] He lined out in all except one of Cork's championship games that year, including the 1919 All-Ireland final defeat of Dublin.[4] Kelleher won a second successive Munster SHC title the following year but ended up on the losing side in the 1920 All-Ireland final after a defeat by Dublin.[5]
Kelleher died from a heart attack at the South Infirmary on 19 June 1958, aged 66.[6]
