Patrick Kennedy (early 1801 – 29 March 1873) was a folklorist from Co. Wexford, Ireland. A bookseller by trade, he is known for his collections of Irish (Leinster) folktales. The tales are told in rusticated English of the Irish peasantry who had established roots in The Pale, the anglicized part of Ireland. He is "widely credited with preserving irish idioms in the turn of phrase, sentence structure, Irish words".
