Paddy Neary (born 1956) is an Irish retired hurler and referee who played as a left corner-back for the Kilkenny senior team.[1]

Neary joined the team during the 1975–76 National League and was a regular member of the team until his retirement from inter-county hurling almost a decade later. During that time he won one National Hurling League winners' medal. He also won two All-Ireland winners' medals as a non-playing substitute.

At club level Neary is a two-time All-Ireland medalist with James Stephens. In addition to this he has also won two Leinster winners' medals and three county club championship winners' medals.
