Patrick Henry Pearse Waldron (5 February 1917 – 26 December 2008) was an Irish first-class cricketer.

Waldron was born at Limerick in February 1917, and was educated at Catholic University School, Dublin.[1] Obtaining a special dispensation from the Archbishop of Dublin, he attended law lectures at Trinity College.[1] Playing his club cricket in Dublin for Merrion, Waldron made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Greenock in 1946.[2] He made three further first-class appearances for Ireland, all in 1947. One of these came against Scotland at Cork, while the other two came against Yorkshire and Derbyshire on Ireland's tour of England.[2] Across his four first-class matches, Waldron scored 99 runs at an average of 12.37, with a highest score of 32.[3] After completing his legal studies, he was called to the bar at the King's Inns in 1948 and continued to work as a registrar at the Four Courts.[1] He continued to play club cricket for Merrion until 1953, having debuted for the club in 1936.[1] At the time of his death in 2008, he was the oldest surviving Irish first-class cricketer,[1] having succeeded Noel Mahony following his death in 2006.
