Patsy Fagan (born 15 January, 1951) is a retired Irish professional snooker player.

A talented snooker player who won the first UK championship in 1977 (when it was a non-ranking event), Fagan seemed destined for a long and successful professional career in the game, but he became affected by a reluctance, possibly psychological, to play shots with the rest when situations demanded it in contests with his opponents.

] This almost certainly cost him many victories in many snooker tournaments. Although he remained a professional for many years, this problem marred any progress Fagan could have made in his profession, and he gave up the game far earlier (in 1989) than his ability deserved.

Fagan is currently coach of the Harrow professional Alfred Burden.
