Padraig Kenny (born 28 April 1960) is an Irish former international rugby union player.[1]

A Gonzaga College product, Kenny was an open-side flanker and played his rugby with Wanderers.[2][3]

Kenny played two uncapped internationals for Ireland on the 1985 tour of Japan.[4] He replaced an injured Denis McBride during the 1992 tour of New Zealand and won a cap in the 2nd Test at Athletic Park, Wellington. His call up had been a surprise given he had been playing 2nd XV rugby at Wanderers in the months prior.[5][6]
