Patrick Joseph Dineen (13 May 1938 – 20 March 2025) was an Irish cricket and businessman. From Cork, he was educated at St Joseph's NS Mardyke and Presentation Brothers College. After his Leaving Certificate, he went to work first for Norwich Union and then for Standard Life. Married with three children, he was a keen golfer and when asked directly about his wealth by an Irish Times journalist he replied famously: "All I need is a new golf swing".
