Patrick Reimer (born 10 December 1982) is a German professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Born in Mindelheim, Reimer and his younger brother Jochen started playing ice hockey at EV Bad Wörishofen, before joining the youth setup of ESV Kaufbeuren. He made his debut on Kaufbeuren’s men’s team in Germany’s third division during the 2001-02 season and played his first game in Germany’s top-flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) for Düsseldorfer EG during the 2003-04 season. In his first full season with DEG in 2004–05, Reimer was selected as the DEL's Rookie of the Year. During his nine-year tenure at the club, he established himself as one of the best domestic players of the German league.

On 26 January 2012, Reimer agreed to leave Düsseldorfer EG at the season's end to join fellow DEL team Nürnberg Ice Tigers on a three-year contract. In January 2014, he penned a contract extension until 2017. He received DEL Player of the Year honors in 2014, 2016 and 2017.

On 15 January 2016, he scored his 263rd DEL goal, making him the all-time career goal-scoring leader in DEL.

On 24 February 2017, he scored his 300rd DEL goal. He is the first player who reached this historic mark.

Reimer made his debut on the German national team in 2005.
