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

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.
