Patrick James Crotty (23 November 1902 – 26 November 1970) was an Irish Fine Gael politician who served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry and Commerce from 1954 to 1957. He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Carlow–Kilkenny constituency from 1948 to 1969.[1]

He was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1948 general election, and re-elected five times, at the 1951, 1954, 1957, 1961 and 1965 general elections.[2] He served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry and Commerce from 1954 to 1957.

Crotty did not contest the 1969 general election, but his son Kieran Crotty was elected for the same constituency at that election.
