Patience is an album by Peter Hammill. It was released in 1983 on Naive Records, a label founded by Gordian Troeller, the former manager of Hammill's band Van der Graaf Generator. It was the second album to feature the collective known as the K Group — Hammill, Guy Evans (Hammill's former colleague in VdGG), John Ellis (of The Vibrators), and Nic Potter (also occasionally of VdGG.)

The members of the K Group adopted aliases for this and some other recordings. Hammill was "K", Evans was "Brain", Ellis was "Fury" and Potter was "Mozart".

"Patient", "Traintime" and "Comfortable" have all been played regularly by Hammill in live performance in recent years.
