Patrick Reynolds (1 March 1887 – 14 February 1932) was an Irish Cumann na nGaedheal politician. A merchant and farmer, he was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) at the September 1927 general election for the Leitrim–Sligo constituency. He was nominated as a candidate for the 1932 general election, but during the campaign he was shot on 14 February 1932 by a former Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) officer named Joseph Leddy, dying four weeks later. Garda Detective Patrick McGeehan who was trying to shield Reynolds was fatally wounded. The election in Leitrim–Sligo was then postponed, and when it was resumed his widow Mary Reynolds won the seat, serving in the Dáil for 25 years.
