Patrick Ebert (born 17 March 1987) is a German professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Rayo Vallecano as a right winger.

Born in Potsdam, East Germany, Ebert started playing football for TuS Gaarden in Kiel at the age of four. He completed his formation with Hertha BSC, joining the Berlin-based club in 1998.

Ebert made his official debut with the first team on 16 July 2006, coming on as a 81st-minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against FK Moscow for that year's UEFA Intertoto Cup. He first appeared in the Bundesliga on 13 August, again coming from the bench in a 0–0 draw at VfL Wolfsburg, and scored his first goal in the competition the following matchday, contributing to a 4–0 home routing of Hannover 96.

Ebert contributed with 16 games and one goal in the 2009–10 season, as the Blue-Whites were ultimately relegated to the second division. On 6 June 2012 he was released along with Christian Lell, Andre Mijatović and Andreas Ottl.

Ebert signed with Spain's Real Valladolid on 27 July 2012. He made his first La Liga appearance on 20 August, playing 86 minutes in a 1–0 away success over Real Zaragoza.

Ebert netted six times in his first year with the Castile and León side – including twice in a 3–1 home win against RCD Mallorca– being an essential attacking unit in a final escape from relegation.
