Patrick Joseph "Pat" Descrimes (31 December 1877 – 5 January 1939){{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article12083907 |title=MR. P. J. DESCRIMES. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=7 January 1939 |page=10}} was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fitzroy Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).{{Ref AFL Encyc|10th|223}}

Descrimes debuted at Fitzroy in opening game of the inaugural VFL season in 1897 and went on to play four seasons for the club. He was a follower in Fitzroy's 1898 premiership team and a half forward flanker in their premiership side in 1899.Some sources have Bert Sharpe in the 1899 premiership team instead of Descrimes but Sharpe was a late omission when his father died.
