Patrick Lamark Hawkins (born December 4, 1970 – died February 3, 1998) was an American rapper. He was better known by his stage name Fat Pat. He was also called Mr. Fat Pat.

Fat Pat was from Houston, Texas. He was a member of a group called DEA (Dead End Alliance). This group included his brother John "Big Hawk" Hawkins, DJ Screw, and Kay-K. They were all original members of the Screwed Up Click (S.U.C.), a famous hip hop group from Houston.

After his passing, two of his first albums, Ghetto Dreams and Throwed in da Game, were released in 1998 by Wreckshop Records. Later, more of his music was released on the Screwed Up Click label.

His Legacy

Even many years after Fat Pat's passing, his music is still very popular in Houston.
