Patrick Gerritsen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpɛtrɪk ˈxɛrɪtsə(n)]; born 13 March 1987) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a striker.
A prospect of the Twente youth academy, Gerritsen made his breakthrough in the 2005–06 season. He would, however, be affected by several long-term injuries in the following seasons and then spent two seasons on loan with second-tier Eerste Divisie club Go Ahead Eagles, before signing a permanent deal in 2011. Between 2012 and 2017, Gerritsen played for lower league club Excelsior '31.
Gerritsen has represented the Netherlands at under-21 level, gaining one cap in which he also scored a goal.
