(Henry) Percy Dockrell (27 December 1914 – 22 November 1979) was an Irish Fine Gael politician who served for twenty years as a Teachta Dála (TD).[1]

Dockrell was first elected as a Fine Gael TD for the Dún Laoghaire and Rathdown constituency at the 1951 general election, and was re-elected at the 1954 general election. He was defeated at the 1957 election, but regained his seat at the 1961 general election and was re-elected a further three times for the same constituency until he was defeated at the 1977 general election.[2]

His father Henry Morgan Dockrell and his brother Maurice E. Dockrell were also Fine Gael TDs. His grandfather Sir Maurice Dockrell had been a Unionist MP before independence. Percy Dockrell's two sons, John H. Dockrell and William Dockrell, served as councillors on the Corporation of Dún Laoghaire, a predecessor of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
