Patrick Joseph Gormley (1916 – August 2001) was an Irish nationalist politician. Born in Claudy, Gormley was educated at St Columb's College and then St. Patrick's College, Maynooth (NUI). In 1945, he was elected to the Londonderry County Council, representing the Nationalist Party. His brother Tom, soon followed him into politics. Just before the 1965 election, Gormley was seriously injured in a car accident in Carrickmacross. Although he was elected, he remained in hospital until January the following year and eventually won an action against the driver of a lorry involved in the crash.
