Chris Patterson (born 6 September 1968) is a British-Irish former rally co-driver.

Career

Patterson competed first time in the World Rally Championship (WRC) in 1993 and has won the 2006 Production World Rally Championship with Nasser Al-Attiyah. Patterson is recognised as one of the world's most experienced rally navigators. 29 June 2010 he joined Petter Solberg World Rally Team to replace Solberg's retired co-driver Phil Mills.{{cite web|url=http://www.rallybase.nl/index.php?type%3Dprofile%26driverid%3D323 |title=Solberg picks his new co-driver |accessdate=2010-07-17 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070609115958/http://www.rallybase.nl/index.php?type=profile&driverid=323 |archivedate=9 June 2007}}

After Solberg switched to rallycross in 2013, Patterson was co-driving fellow Irishman Kris Meeke on a Citroën DS3 WRC in Rally Finland. They were running in fifth place on Meeke's WRC return before rolling in the final section of the penultimate stage of the rally. They also teamed up for Rally Australia, but again retired. In 2014, Patterson became Khalid Al Qassimi's co-driver.

Patterson is set to return to the championship with Gus Greensmith, driving for M-Sport Ford.{{cite news|url=https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/greensmith-bring-in-ex-solberg-meeke-co-driver-patterson/|title=Greensmith brings in ex-Solberg/Meeke co-driver Patterson|first=Luke|last=Barry|work=dirtfish.com|date=24 March 2021|access-date=25 March 2021}} This time under the Irish tricolour.
