Patricia Yvonne Cullen (née McAleer; born 1965)[1][2] is an Irish Sinn Féin politician, trade unionist and nurse who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Fermanagh and South Tyrone since 2024.

During a period as a nurse trainee at Holywell Hospital in Antrim when she was 18, Cullen wrote a letter of complaint to hospital management about their "token economy" policy, whereby psychiatric patients had important personal possessions confiscated as punishment for "difficult" behaviour.

[11] In 2023, Cullen was described by the New Statesman as ”one of the UKs most prominent Trade Union leaders”, being placed at No.15 in their list of the most powerful left-wing figures of the year, above many elected politicians.

[12] In May 2024, Cullen announced she was stepping down from her role at the RCN in order to stand as a candidate for Fermanagh and South Tyrone in the 2024 United Kingdom general election.
