Patrick Wallace (born September 20, 1969) is a Northern Irish professional snooker player. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is an accountancy graduate from Queens University, Belfast.

Wallace is notable for being the only player to reach the quarter finals of the World Championship on his only appearance. He did this in 2001, beating Alan McManus 10-2 and Mark King 13-5 on his way before being knocked out by his good friend and fellow countryman Joe Swail, losing 11-13. He has failed to reach the Crucible stages of the world championship since then. His percentage of points scored to points conceded at the Crucible is the third-highest of all time, behind only Stephen Hendry and John Higgins[1].

For 2007-2008 he returned to the game's Main Tour, after winning the Northern Ireland Championship.
