Patrick McBrearty, born on 5 August 1993, is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Cill Chartha and, previously, for the Donegal county team, which he captained for three years from 2023 until an injury forced his retirement from inter-county football at the end of 2025. He was usually selected in the full-forward line, often flanking Michael Murphy with Colm McFadden. Among his honours are an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title in 2012, seven Ulster Senior Football Championship titles and two International Rules Series. Early success led to him being described as the most decorated player of his age ever to represent Donegal, and by 2025 he was recognised as the most decorated player in the history of the county. He also played minor and senior matches for Donegal on the same day.
