Patrick Jørgensen (born 31 May 1991) is a Danish épée fencer, individual bronze medallist at the 2015 World Fencing Championships.
Ranked No.102 before the competition, Jørgensen created a surprise by defeating notably Olympic silver medallists Gábor Boczkó and Bartosz Piasecki to reach the semi-finals, where he lost to World No.1 Gauthier Grumier. He came away with a bronze medal, the first significant achievement of his career and the first Danish medal in a men's event at the World Fencing Championships since Mogens Lüchow in 1950.[1][2]
