Pat Hegarty (born 1947) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Cork senior team.
Hegarty joined the team during the 1968-69 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1975 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, four Munster medals and four National League medals. Hegarty was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Hegarty was a one-time intermediate championship medalist with Youghal.
Hegarty played his club hurling with Youghal and enjoyed some success during a lengthy career.
In 1969 he was a key member of the team that reached the final of the intermediate championship. Cobh provided the opposition on that occasion, however, Youghal's ability to score goals proved the deciding factor. A 3-9 to 0-13 win gave Hegarty an intermediate championship medal.
Hegarty first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork under-21 hurling tea in 1966. He made his debut as a substitute in a Munster semi-final defeat of Galway in 1966, however, he played no part in Cork's subsequent Munster and All-Ireland victories.
Two years later Hegarty was captain of the under-21 team. He won a Munster medal that year following a 4-10 to 1-13 defeat of Tipperary. Cork later faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider and Hegarty was moved from centre-back to the half-forward line. A 2-18 to 3-9 victory gave Hegarty an All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship medal.
