Sir Prabhashankar Dalpatram Pattani KCIE (Gujarati: સર પ્રભાશંકર પટ્ટણી) (15 April 1862 – 16 February 1938) was the prime minister or Diwan of Bhavnagar State in Gujarat, India.

He ranked first in the Kathiavar Peninsula and married the daughter of Zandu Bhatt, who was an Ayurveda Doctor.

On one occasion, one of Pattani's in-laws criticized his financial status, declaring that he did not deserve to use the Bhatt family name due to his economic class.

[citation needed] Pattani entered a medical college in Mumbai to become a doctor.

However, Pattani did not want to oust the incumbent Prime Minister, and so joined the state as Secretary of the King.

Pattani took a special interest in encouraging Gandhi to attend the 2nd Round Table Conference in England.

However, your going there will not be futile as you can share the details about the current state of affairs in India with English citizens.

When the citizens of England will come to know about the true news and our rightful claim for freedom, they will demand the same with the English Government."

"[citation needed] Pattani replied: "We cannot forget that Mahatma Gandhi has donated all his money, time and life for the betterment of society.

During World War I Pattani was part of England's Indian minister council.

One Sunday, England's King George V participated in mass church prayers while Pattani and other ministers were present.
