Patrick Arthur Maxwell (10 July 1869 - 17 March 1902) was an Irish first-class cricketer and medical doctor.
Maxwell was born at Dublin, one of four Maxwell brothers who were educated in England at Ushaw College.[1] It is likely he studied at Trinity College, Dublin, given his later, albeit brief, career as a medical doctor.[2] Playing his club cricket in Dublin for Dublin University, Maxwell made his debut in first-class cricket for the university against the Marylebone Cricket Club at College Park in May 1895.[3] In June, he toured England with the university, playing a further two first-class matches against Cambridge University at Cambridge, and Leicestershire at Leicester.[3] He made a final first-class appearance for the university in July, when Cambridge University visited Dublin for the return fixture between the sides.[3] Across his four first-class matches, Maxwell scored 105 runs at an average of 13.12, with a highest score of 39.[4] He emigrated to Australia not long after, where he practiced medicine at Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.[2] He died there, on Saint Patrick's Day, in March 1902.[2] He is buried at Kalgoorlie Cemetery.[5]
