Dermot Patrick Honan (died 20 July 1986) was a Fianna Fáil politician from County Clare in Ireland who served as a senator for 8 years.
A licensed vinter before entering politics, he was elected in 1965 to the 11th Seanad Éireann on the Industrial and Commercial Panel, and was re-elected in 1969 to the 12th Seanad. He was defeated in the 1973 Seanad election, but his wife Tras Honan was elected as a senator in 1977, and in a 15-year career in Seanad Éireann she was twice elected as Cathaoirleach (speaker). His father T. V. Honan had been a senator from 1934 to 1954.
