Pádraig "Jock" Haughey (10 October 1932 – 10 October 2003) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right wing-forward for the Dublin senior team.
Haughey began his inter-county career as a member of the Dublin senior team in the early 'fifties and enjoyed much success going forward into the early 'sixties. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, three Leinster medals and two National Football League medals. Haughey was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Haughey won numerous county club championship medals with St Vincents GAA.
