Patrick John Lawlor (21 March 1928 — 26 May 2015) was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]

Born in Dublin, Lawlor was the elder brother of Olympic hammer thrower John Lawlor.[2]

Lawlor, a lock, played much of his rugby with Clontarf and was a Leinster representative player. He won 12 Ireland caps, debuting against Scotland at Murrayfield during their championship-winning 1951 Five Nations campaign. His international career included Ireland's 1952 tour of South America, where he made an uncapped appearance against Argentina.[3]
