Patryk Dudek (; born 20 June 1992) is a Polish motorcycle speedway rider who is a member of the Polish national speedway team.

Career

Dudek's father, Sławomir, was a professional rider and Patryk gained his speedway licence in 2008. Dudek won 2009 and 2010 Team U-19 European Champion and 2009 Individual Under-21 Polish Champion titles.

In June 2014, Dudek tested positive for a banned substance following a Polish league match against Stal Gorzów. He was subsequently issued a 12-month ban by the FIM from all international speedway competitions, starting that August. The substance was later revealed to be Methylhexanamine, a drug commonly used as a dietary supplement. He returned to competition once his ban was lifted in August 2015.

In September 2016, during the Speedway Grand Prix Qualification he won the GP Challenge, which ensured that he claimed a permanent slot for the 2017 Speedway Grand Prix. In 2017, he won the silver medal during the 2017 Speedway Grand Prix, having accomplished this during his debut season in the Speedway Grand Prix series, which makes him the most successful SGP rookie ever.

Expectations for the 2018 season were high based on his status as world number 2 but he struggled to repeat the success and finished a 9th in the 2018 Speedway Grand Prix. He did however win the 2018 Speedway Grand Prix of Slovenia and secured a permanent slot for the 2019 Speedway Grand Prix, where he finished 8th.

After finishing 12th during the 2020 Speedway Grand Prix season Dudek suffered a leg injury, which resulted in him missing the 2021 season. In 2022, he finished in 7th place during the 2022 Speedway World Championship, after securing 102 points during the 2022 Speedway Grand Prix season, which included winning the German Grand Prix. Also in 2022, he was a member of the Polish team that won the inaugural European Team Speedway Championship.

In July 2023, he was part of the Polish team that won the gold medal in the 2023 Speedway World Cup final. However, his World Championship campaign was inconsistent and he finished in 10th place.

In 2024, he won the European Team Speedway Championship and helped Slangerup win the Danish Speedway League during the 2024 Danish speedway season.

Dudek became Polish champion for the second time during the 2025 Polish speedway season having previously won the title in 2016. During the 2025 Danish speedway season he helped Slangerup retain the Speedway Ligaen title.
