Patrick Cogley (died after 1470) was an Irish Crown official, landowner and judge of the fifteenth century. He is first heard of in 1461 as Master of the Rolls in Ireland, but he stepped down after only three months when he was appointed Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, (Master of the Rolls, though a judicial post, was probably at that early stage the less important office of the two). He was still Clerk of the Crown in 1470. He was also Chief Chamberlain of the Exchequer of Ireland, and acted as Clerk to the Parliament of Ireland in 1468. He was a clerk in holy orders, but is not known to have held any high clerical office. In 1470 King Edward IV granted him by letters patent certain lands, which were not clearly specified; Parliament by statute confirmed that the grant was for life (the statute was not repealed until 2007). ==References== *Ball, F.
