Paudie Kissane (born 1 March 1980) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a left wing-back for the Cork senior team.[1]

Born in Burnfort, County Cork, Kissane arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of eighteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 and junior sides. He made his debut in the 2002 National Football League. Kissane went on to play a key part on and off the team for over a decade, and won one All-Ireland medal, two Munster medals and three National Football League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

Kissane represented the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions throughout his career. At club level he began his career with Whitechurch before later winning a premier intermediate championship medal with Clyda Rovers.

Throughout his career, Kissane made 24 championship appearances for Cork. He announced his retirement from inter-county football on 30 October 2013.[2][3]

In retirement from play Kissane immediately became involved in coaching and team management. He was appointed coach to the Clare senior football team on 6 November 2013.[4]
