Prince Patrick Ali Pahlavi (born 1 September 1947) is a member of the deposed Pahlavi dynasty of Iran and was heir presumptive from 1954 to 1960. According to the former constitution of Iran, he would currently be first in the line of succession to the throne; his cousin Prince Reza Pahlavi would be the head of the dynasty.
Born in Paris, Patrick Ali Pahlavi is the son of Prince Ali Reza Pahlavi and his wife Christiane Cholewski, a Frenchwoman, although no record of his parents' 20 November 1946 wedding in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France, is on official record there. His father chose for him an Irish name popular in France, 'Patrick', and his mother chose for him an Arabic name, 'Ali', which made 'Patrick Ali' his full given name. On his birth he was baptized.
Prince Patrick Ali's father was the second son of Reza Shah, founder of the Pahlavi dynasty and Shah (King) of Iran, making Patrick Ali a nephew of Mohammad Reza Shah, the last reigning Shāhanshāh (Emperor) of Iran. His father was the heir presumptive to his sonless brother's throne and following his death in a plane crash in 1954, Patrick Pahlavi succeeded him as heir presumptive.
