Paddy Cronin is an Irish fiddler.

In 1949, Seamus Ennis recorded him on acetate disc for Radió Éireann, copies of which are held in the Irish Traditional Music Archive. Shortly after making these recordings, he left Ireland and emigrated to Boston in the United states. During the 1950s, he continued to record, becoming very well known through the 78rpm discs he made for the O'Byrne-De Witt label.

1n 1975, Paddy released The Rakish Paddy LP with Fiddler Records of Seattle, and in 1977 released Kerrys Own Paddy Cronin with Outlet records of Belfast.
