Patrick McCormack (born 2005) is an Irish hurler. At club level, he plays with Borris-Ileigh and at inter-county level with the Tipperary senior hurling team.
McCormack played hurling as a student at Our Lady's Secondary School in Templemore. He played in the various grades during his time there, including in the Dr Harty Cup.[1] McCormack later studied at TUS Midwest and has been included on their Fitzgibbon Cup team.[2]

McCormack first appeared on the inter-county scene for Tipperary at the age of 17 as a member of the minor team that won the All-Ireland MHC title after a defeat of Offaly in 2022. McCormack got the winning score with a goal in the last seconds of the game.[6] He immediately progressed to the under-20 team, however, he missed much of the 2024 season due to injury.[7] McCormack was again eligible for the grade the following year and won an All-Ireland U20HC medal after a 3–19 to 1–16 win over Kikenny in the final in which he scored 2-1.[8]
Performances in the under-20 grade resulted in McCormack being drafted onto the senior team in June 2025.[9]
