Colonel Robert Patterson (1753 - 1827) was an American Revolutionary War veteran who helped found the cities of Lexington, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio.

Patterson was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War and served in the Indian campaigns with George Rogers Clark. Patterson moved from Kentucky in 1788 and was one of the three founders of Cincinnati.

Patterson moved to Dayton, Ohio in 1802 and continued his military service as a Quartermaster during the War of 1812. Patterson's farm, Rubicon, was located two miles south of Dayton where he and his wife Elizabeth (Lindsay) raised eight children[1]. The land is currently part of the University of Dayton and stretched from there west to the Old soldiers' home (presently the Dayton VA Medical Center). His home is now a historic house museum, known as the Patterson Homestead.
