Patricia Stryker (born 1956) is the granddaughter of Homer Stryker, surgeon and founder of Stryker Corporation, a medical technology company.
The low-profile heiress has been more active in civic life in recent years, with an interest in liberal causes.

Stryker bought Sonoma's Sommer Vineyards in 1999, which she rebuilt, replanted, and rechristened as Stryker Sonoma [1]. It boasts 32 acres (129,000 m²) in Alexander Valley, producer of classic vinifera varieties Bordeaux and Zinfandel.
