Robert L. Patrick was a computer scientist who worked on early operating systems.[1]

Patrick contributed to mainframe operating systems in the series that culminated in the creation of OS/360.[1] The series started in 1956 with the GM-NAA input/output system, progressing through the SHARE Operating System (SOS) (1959), IBSYS (1960), the Direct Couple, and finally OS/360 c.1965-1966.[1]

In 2006, Patrick donated a number of documents to the Computer History Museum.[2]
