Patrick Joseph "Pat" Morrissey was an Irish professional association footballer, who played as a striker.

Morrissey was born in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, but moved to England as a young child, and played schoolboy football at county level. In a career spanning 25 years, Morrissey played for Coventry City, Torquay United, Crewe Alexandra, Chester City, Watford, Aldershot (who signed him in exchange for Roger Joslyn), Swansea City, Dartford, Hayes, Slough Town, Carshalton Athletic, Hendon, Chesham United, Dunstable Town and Southall. He also played for the Republic of Ireland at under-23 level.

He died in 2005, and is survived by two sons, both of whom have played for Colney Heath.
