Patrick Guiney (born 1867 died 12 October 1913) was an Irish Nationalist MP in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

He served three terms of imprisonment for activity in the Plan of Campaign movement, and was a supporter of William O'Brien's All-for-Ireland League. He was a farmer and Cork County councillor for Newmarket as well as Chair of Newmarket Agricultural Society, Newmarket Gaelic League Class and Newmarket Old-Age Pensions Committee.

In the December 1910 general election he contested two seats: Kerry East and North-Cork, winning the latter. He died at his home in Newmarket three years later. His brother was returned unopposed for his seat in the resulting by-election.

He married Nanette O'Connor of Ballyclough, Mallow in 1895.
