Gilla Pátraic (died 10 October 1084), also known as Patricius, was the second Bishop of Dublin. Gilla Pátraic was elevated to the see of Dublin following bishop Dúnán's death in 1074. He was consecrated by Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury. Whether Gilla Pátraic or Dúnán was the first Irish bishop to be consecrated in Canterbury is disputed.Flanagan, pp.903-04

Before he became bishop of Dublin Gilla Pátraic had been a monk in a Benedictine community at Worcester, the prior then had been Wulfstan, later Bishop of Worcester.

He drowned along with his companions crossing the Irish Sea on 10 October 1084.{{Cite web|url=https://celt.ucc.ie//published/T100001.html|title=Annales Hiberniae|website=celt.ucc.ie}}{{Cite web|url=http://thecelticist.ie/patrick-of-dublin/|title=Patrick of Dublin – Elizabeth Boyle}}{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dVJXAAAAIAAJ&dq=1084+patrick+bishop+sea&pg=PA9|title=Publications|first=Irish archaeological and Celtic|last=society|date=September 14, 1842|publisher=Society.|via=Google Books}}{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=orYSAAAAIAAJ&q=1084+patrick+bishop+sea|title=The Writings of Bishop Patrick, 1074-1084|date=September 14, 1955|publisher=Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies|via=Google Books}}
