Patrick James Dalton (12 June 1942 – 8 January 2020[1]) was an Australian rules footballer who played 217 games for Perth in the WANFL from 1960-71. He was named on the interchange bench in Perth's official "Team of the Century". A regular for Perth during the 1960s, Dalton was almost always used as a centreman. He was a member of three consecutive premiership teams at Perth, in 1966, 1967 and 1968.[1]

Dalton won the 1970 Sandover Medal, in his second-last league season, and also won two Perth best and fairest awards during his career. He represented the Western Australian state team on one occasion, against Victoria in 1969.[2]
