Pat Coyle (b. September 17, 1969 in Orangeville, Ontario) is a lacrosse player for the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. Coyle was named Defenseman of the Year in 2002, and has won four NLL Championships with the Toronto Rock.

In 1994, Coyle played with the Detroit Turbos of the MILL, but was given a lifetime ban from the MILL for striking a referee.[citation needed] When the MILL became the NLL in 1998, it was decided that the ban did not apply to the new league, and Coyle was signed by the Ontario Raiders.
