Patrick Bowes-Lyon (5 March 1863 – 5 October 1946) was a British tennis player, barrister and uncle of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, mother of Queen Elizabeth II.

Having been Scottish tennis champion in 1885, 1886 and 1888, he won the doubles at Wimbledon alongside Herbert Wilberforce. As a younger brother of Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, who was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's father, he was a great-uncle of Queen Elizabeth II.

The fifth of seven sons and one of the eleven children of Claude Bowes-Lyon, 13th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and of Frances Dora Smith, he married Alice Wiltshire, daughter of George Wiltshire, on 9 August 1893.

He and his wife Alice had four children:

  1. Lt. Gavin Patrick (13 December 1895 – November 1917) killed in action
  2. Angus Patrick (22 October 1899 – 10 July 1923)
  3. Jean Barbara (9 October 1904 – 7 January 1963)
  4. Margaret Ann (14 June 1907 – 14 August 1999) married 2 June 1946 Lt. Col. Francis Arthur Philip D'Abreu (1 October 1904 – 6 November 1995). Had one son and two daughters: Anthony Patrick John D'Abreu (born 17 March 1946), Francesca D'Abreu (born 7 February 1948), and Anne Teresa Alice D'Abreu (16 February 1950 – 17 April 1995).
