Paddy Moclair (1 September 1907 to 9 May 1983) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a full-forward and as a full-back at senior level for the Mayo county team. He joined the team during the 1930 championship and was a regular in the starting fifteen until he retired after the 1942 championship. In that time he won one All-Ireland medal, seven Connacht medals, six National League medals and one All-Time All Star Award, and over a fourteen-year club career with Castlebar Mitchels and Ballina Stephenites he won nine county championship medals. After football he became a leading greyhound trainer, and his career peaked when he trained Western Post to win the 1948 Irish Greyhound Derby on 4 September 1948. Since 1971 the Paddy Moclair Cup has been awarded to the winners of the Mayo Senior Football Championship.
