Nat Patton (February 26, 1881 – July 27, 1957), also known as "Cousin Nat",[1] was an American lawyer and politician who served five terms as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from the 7th District of Texas from 1935 to 1945.

Patton was born on a farm near tiny Tadmor in Houston County near Crockett in east Texas.

He was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1912, attended law school at the University of Texas at Austin, was admitted to the bar in 1918, and began his law practice in Crockett.

During the First World War, Patton enlisted in the United States Army but was never sworn in because the armistice was signed.

He resumed the practice of law in Crockett until his death; he is interred there in Evergreen Memorial Park.
