Patrick Columba Delap (17 March 1932 – 14 May 1987) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician and medical doctor.[1][2] He was first elected to Dáil Éireann at a 1970 by-election as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for Donegal–Leitrim. The by-election was caused by the death of the Fine Gael TD Patrick O'Donnell.[3]

He served for three years before he lost his seat at the 1973 general election.[3] He stood again for the Dáil at the 1977 general election but was not elected.
