Patrick Anthony Ludden (February 4, 1836 – August 6, 1912) was an Irish-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the first Bishop of Syracuse, New York (1887–1912).
Patrick Ludden was born in Breaffy, near Castlebar, County Mayo, to Anthony and Ellen (née Fitzgerald) Ludden. He graduated from St. Jarlath's College in Tuam in 1861 and then immigrated to North America, where he entered the Grand Seminary of Montreal in Quebec, Canada. After completing his theological studies, he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Ignace Bourget on May 21, 1864. He was attached to the Diocese of Albany in New York, and there served as rector of St. Joseph's Church in Malone. He was shortly afterwards named chancellor of the diocese, and accompanied Bishop John J. Conroy as his theologian to the First Vatican Council. In 1872 he became rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and vicar general of the diocese. He was named rector of St. Peter's Church in Troy in 1880.
