Patrick McGinlay (born 30 May 1967 in Partick) is a Scottish former professional footballer who was best known for his spell at Hibernian.

McGinlay began his career at English club Blackpool but left them to join Hibernian in 1987. He soon became an important part of Alex Miller's side, winning the Skol Cup in 1991 and went on to make over 150 appearances for the club.

In 1993 he was signed by Celtic for a fee of £525,000 after he impressed then boss Lou Macari. He made his debut on 7 August 1993 as a substitute in a 2-2 draw away to Motherwell. However, after just over fifteen months at Celtic Park he was on the move again as he was not part of then new manager Tommy Burns' plans.

On 1 November 1994 he re-joined Hibs for £420,000. He remained at Easter Road for six seasons before moving to Ayr United. He is still the fourth highest player to make league appearances for Hibs with 321 and third highest league goalscorer with 62.

Whilst at Ayr, McGinlay enjoyed a Scottish League Cup run which ended with him being on the losing side in the 2002 final. He made 74 appearances for the Honest Men and scored 23 goals before retiring in 2005.

Following his retirement he set up a successful domestic cleaning company with his with wife called Spick and Span.
