Patrick Wallace (born September 20, 1969) is a professional snooker player from Dungannon in Northern Ireland. He is an accountancy graduate from Queens University, Belfast (1992). Wallace captained the Queen's team to the British Universities title at Leeds in 1992 and won his first Northern Ireland title the following year before reaching the semi-finals of the world amateur championship.

Wallace is the only player to have reached the quarter-finals of the World Championship on their only appearance at the finals. He achieved this in 2001, beating Alan McManus 10-2 and Mark King 13-5 on his way before being knocked out by his good friend and fellow countryman Joe Swail, losing 11-13. He has failed to reach the Crucible stages of the world championship since then. His percentage of points scored to points conceded at the Crucible is the third-highest of all time, behind only Stephen Hendry and John Higgins [http://www.thesnookerforum.com/board/showthread.php?t=6776] , albeit based on a single year.

For 2007-2008 he returned to the game's Main Tour after winning the Northern Ireland Championship.
