Nipper Pat Daly, real name Patrick Clifford Daley (17 February 1913 – 25 September 1988), was a British boxer who fought professionally between 1923 and 1931. He made his professional debut at the age of nine or 10, achieved widespread fame in his mid teens as British boxing's 'Wonderboy', then retired from pro boxing at age 17.

Renowned sportswriter Frank Butler named Daly 'the best young prospect we ever had'. He is believed to be the youngest boxer ever to make The Ring magazine's top-ten world ratings, and it is thought that he was also the youngest-ever professional boxer. Daly was the grandfather of actress, model and singer Eileen Daly.
