Patrick Bakker (12 November 1910 in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands – 28 December 1932 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch artist in oil paintings and pen or pastel drawings in the first half of the twentieth century.
At the time of his death he was considered a "prodigy", in the words of Bénézit's Dictionnaire.
Despite his short life, he left a large collection of works characterized by an expressive freedom in his use of colour, confident draughtsmanship, and controlled impetuosity.
The art critic Abraham Marie Hammacher spoke highly of him in Stromingen en persoonlijkheden : schets van een halve eeuw schilderkunst in Nederland, 1900–1950 (p.
140).
