Major Bethune Minet "Peter" Patton (5 March 1876 – 10 April 1939) was an English ice hockey player and administrator.

Patton had a public school education at Winchester and Wellington and he is believed to have learned to skate whilst holidaying in Switzerland.

He was the son of Henry Bethune Patton (1835-1915) CB, a Colonel in the British Army with local rank of Brigadier-General, and his second wife Georgina Emma Minet (1845-1918).

In 1910, Patton led the Princes team to the gold medal as they represented Great Britain at the inaugural European championships.

Both before and after the First World War, Patton led the Princes team in many European tournaments, this included a silver medal finish at the 1913 championships held in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

[citation needed] In October 1936 he wrote the book Ice Hockey which chronicled the early years of the sport in Great Britain.

In August 1904 in St Pancras, London, describing himself as a civil engineer, he married Florence Adeline Winifred Lloyd-Worrall (1872-1937), but they parted without having had any children in 1911, when he was running a garage in Bray, Berkshire, and she sued for divorce.
