Pat Aulton (Patrick Aulton) is a noted Australian record producer, musician, arranger and songwriter.

He is best known for the successful pop and rock singles and albums he produced for Australian and New Zealand artists in the 1960s and early 1970s on the Sunshine and Spin labels, as well as a number of well-known and successful commercial jingles and TV themes.

Aulton began his career as a vocalist with the Adelaide-based group The Clefs. After linking with Adelaide entrepreneur Ivan Dayman and his Sunshine agency, Aulton began producing records for most of the performers on the Sunshine roster, nost notably the string of Australian hit singles, EPs and albums by vocalist Normie Rowe.

Following the collapse of the Sunshine Records label and its shortlived sister label Kommotion Records ca. 1967, Aulton was hired as a house producer and A&R manager by Festival Records. He oversaw the installation of the 4-track recording equipment at the label's new Pyrmont studio and produced and engineered most of Festival's pop output between 1967 and 1971, as well as performing uncredited backing vocals and instrumental contributions on may of these recordings.

One of Aulton's most successful productions from this period was the single "Mr Guy Fawkes" by The Dave Miller Set, which was a Top ten hit in Sydney and was named "Single of the Year" by "Go-Set" magazine. His other productions in this period include the acclaimed progressive rock albums "Joint Effort" by Jeff St John & Copperwine, and "Wide Open" by Kahvas Jute.
