Peter Paul McKenna (29 June 1903 – 28 August 1956) was an Irish hurler. At club he played with Shinrone and Borrisokane, and also lined out at inter-county level with the Tipperary senior hurling team.
McKenna first played hurling with the Shinrone club in Offaly. He won an Offaly JHC medal in 1923, before later transferring, along with his three brothers, to the Borrisokane club. McKenna won a North Tipperary SHC medal with Borrisokane in 1933.[2]
At inter-county level, McKenna followed his brother Tim by earning a call-up to the Tipperary senior hurling team in 1929. He won a Munster SHC after a defeat of Clare in 1930.[3] McKenna, whose brother Jack was also a member of the team, lined out at full-back when Tipperary beat Dublin in the 1930 All-Ireland final.[4] His inter-county career ended the following year.
