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 five NLL Championships; four with the Toronto Rock and one with the Colorado Mammoth.

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. The Raiders became the Toronto Rock the next season, and Coyle went on to win four championships with the Rock before being traded to the Vancouver Ravens after the 2004 season.^[1] However, just weeks before the 2005 season began, the league announced that the Ravens would not play in 2005, and Coyle immediately became a free agent. He was signed by the Colorado Mammoth, where he won his fifth championship in 2006.^[2]
