Patrick Percival "Pat" Power (born 11 February 1942 in Cooma, New South Wales) is a retired Australian Roman Catholic bishop.
Power grew up in Queanbeyan and was educated at St Christopher's School and St Edmund's College in Canberra and completed his schooling at Chevalier College, Bowral. After leaving school, he trained for the priesthood at St Columba's College, Springwood and St Patrick's College, Manly.
Power was ordained to the priesthood in Queanbeyan on 17 July 1965 and served in the parishes of Braidwood, Canberra and Goulburn before being asked by Archbishop Thomas Cahill to undertake a doctorate in canon law in 1972 at the Propaganda Fide College, Rome. On the completion of his studies in 1975, Power returned to Canberra and for 10 years served as Archbishop's Secretary (to three archbishops) and director of the marriage tribunal.
In February 1985, Power became parish priest of his home parish of Queanbeyan.
On 18 April 1986, he was consecrated bishop by Archbishop Francis Carroll in St Christopher's Cathedral, Canberra, becoming the fifth Auxiliary Bishop of Canberra–Goulburn.
