Patrick Jeffrey Choate (; born April 27, 1941) is an American economist. He was the 1996 Reform Party candidate for Vice President of the United States, the running mate of Ross Perot. They had previously co-authored the book Save Your Job, Save Our Country (1993), which argued against the ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In August 1996, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) certified a $22.055 million general-election public-funding grant to the Perot–Choate campaign, the first such grant to a third-party presidential campaign. In 1998, the FEC recognized Reform Party USA as a national committee under the Federal Election Campaign Act.
