Patrícia Fernandes Sampaio (born 30 June 1999) is a Portuguese judoka. In 2021, she competed in the women's 78 kg event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, where she reached the Round of 16. In 2024, in the Paris Olympics, she won the bronze medal.

Sampaio is the gold medalist of the 2019 Oceania Open Perth in the 78 kg category.

Sampaio won one of the bronze medals in her event at the 2022 Tel Aviv Grand Slam held in Tel Aviv, Israel.

On 1 August 2024 Sampaio won a bronze medal in the 78 kg category at the Paris Olympics. Sampaio had been eliminated in the semi-finals by the ranking leader in the category, Italy's Alice Bellandi—who would end up taking the gold in the competition. In the battle for the bronze, Patrícia defeated Japan's Rika Takayama with two waza-aris: the first at 1:10 (Osoto gaeshi) and the second, which would end up sealing her victory, at 3:05 (Seoi otoshi). This was the first medal for Portugal at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
