Aidan Hilary Bailey (1 January 1916 — 6 June 1976) was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]

Born in Dublin, Bailey attended Presentation College, Bray, and helped their rugby XV claim the Leinster Schools Senior Cup in 1932. He was still a schoolboy when he made his debut for Ireland in 1934, against Wales at Swansea. Primarily used as a centre, Bailey was capped 13 times for Ireland, making his last appearance in 1938.[2][3]
