Patrick Noël Raymond Pons (24 December 1952 in Paris - 12 August 1980 in Northampton) was a French professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. His best year was in 1974 when he finished in third place in the 250cc and the 350cc world championships. Pons became the first Frenchman to win an F.I.M. world championship when he won the 1979 Formula 750 title.

In 1980, he won the prestigious Daytona 200. He died two days after suffering a racing accident at the 1980 British Grand Prix, having crashed and then hit by fellow Frenchman Michel Rougerie.
