is an unincorporated community in northern Bollinger County, Missouri, United States. It is located on Route 51 about one mile south of the intersection with Route 72 and fifteen miles north of Marble Hill, Missouri.

The Panthers, the basketball team from nearby Meadow Heights High School, set a national record in 2006 for making 36 three-point baskets in a single game.
My father, Earl Kenneth "Kent" Williams, graduated from high school in Patton in the late 1930s and told me that there were still members of the (Frank and Jesse) James Gang living in Bollinger County when he was a kid.
