Patrick Moran (born June 7, 1975) is a professional fiddler born in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, Canada.

Patrick began playing the fiddle in 1982 as a student of fiddle player Kelly Russell. Patrick’s Sliabh Luachra style, nimble versatility and strong understanding of contemporary and traditional melodies has made him a highly respected studio fiddler throughout Canada.

Patrick has collaborated with a number of well-known Newfoundland musicians at sessions, folk festivals, and concerts. He has performed throughout North America and Ireland with many prominent artists in traditional Irish and Newfoundland music, including Séamus Creagh, The Chieftains, Paddy Keenan, Ryan's Fancy, The Sons of Erin and he has appeared at 25 consecutive Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festivals.

Patrick currently performs as a member of the Celtic rock band The Punters, Irish-Newfoundland bands Tickle Harbour and Jeezus Murphy, Newfoundland band The Government Rams, and bluegrass band Crooked Stovepipe.
