Pat Leahy (born March 19, 1951) was a placekicker for the New York Jets of the National Football League. He did not play college football, instead accepting a soccer scholarship to Saint Louis University, where he played as a starting midfielder. Leahy helped the Billikens reach four NCAA soccer finals, winning three national championships, and earned All-American honors. After participating in an open tryout, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an undrafted free agent following the 1973 NFL draft before joining the Jets in 1974. He was later inducted into the Billiken Hall of Fame (1994) and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame (2007).
