Patrick Hogan (1891 – 14 July 1936) was a senior Irish politician.
He was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1921 election as a Sinn Féin candidate in the Galway constituency. He was re-elected as a TD for Galway in 1922, 1923, June 1927, September 1927, 1932 and 1933 general elections.
As a supporter of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 he later joined Cumann na nGaedhael (from 1933 Fine Gael). In 1922 he was appointed to the Cabinet of W. T. Cosgrave as minister for Land and Agriculture. He served in government until 1932.
He was killed in a car accident in Aughrim, Co. Galway, in July 1936, while still a serving TD.
His daughter, Brigid Hogan-O'Higgins was also a Fine Gael TD for several Galway constituencies, from 1957 to 1977.
