Brigadier Sir Eugene "Pat" Gorman, KBE, MC, QC (10 April 1891 – 19 July 1973) was an Australian barrister and military officer.

He displayed the utmost courage and ability in leading his company during an attack, and, although severely wounded, he remained at his post until his party were relieved after a most exhausting and dangerous turn of duty.

Holding the substantive rank of colonel,[3] he was appointed as a temporary brigadier and fulfilled the role of Chief Inspector of Army Administration, before being sent to the United Kingdom to command the AIF Reception Group, which was responsible for repatriating released prisoners of war back to Australia.

[1] Following his service in the First World War, Gorman resumed his legal career, building up a large and highly regarded practice, and took silk as a King's Counsel in 1929.

[1] Gorman had some involvement in politics, unsuccessfully standing as a candidate for the Victorian Legislative Council in 1931, and serving as an influential advisor and intermediary for the Country Party Premier of Victoria, Albert Dunstan, from 1935.
