Patrick J. Kyle (November 4, 1854 – October 28, 1929) was a United States Navy sailor and a recipient of America's highest military decoration—the Medal of Honor, not to be confused with the Doug Wright-nominated cartoonist Patrick Kyle.
He enlisted in the U.S. Navy from Massachusetts and, while serving as a crewmember of USS Quinnebaug, saved a shipmate from drowning at Mahón, Minorca, Spain on March 13, 1879. For his conduct on this occasion, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Kyle died at age 74, and was interred in New Calvary Cemetery, Mattapan, Massachusetts.
