Patrick Behan (1936 – 10 June 1992) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Ballyhea and Churchtown, divisional side Avondhu and at inter-county level was a member of the Cork senior hurling team. Behan usually lined out as a forward.
Behan first played hurling at club level with Ballyhea and won several North Cork JHC titles with the club.[2] His performances earned a call-up to the Avondhu team and he captained the divisional side to the Cork SHC title in 1966.[3] Behan first played at inter-county level as a member of the Cork senior hurling team during the unsuccessful 1960 Munster SHC campaign.[4] He was later drafted onto the Cork junior hurling team that lost the 1960 All-Ireland home final to Carlow.[5] Behan also lined out with the Cork intermediate hurling team in the early rounds of their successful 1964 Munster IHC campaign.[6]
Behan died after a long period of ill health on 10 June 1992, aged 55.[7]
