Ritchie Patterson is a physicist at Cornell University known for her research using the Large Hadron Collider to examine dark matter and the disappearance of antimatter. She is a fellow of the American Physical Society and an elected member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Patterson has a B.A. from Cornell University (1981) and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (1990). Following her Ph.D., she returned to Cornell where was promoted to professor in 2005.^[1] Patterson is the director of the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) and the Center for Bright Beams (CBB),^[2] a science and technology center funded by the National Science Foundation.^[3]

Patterson's research centers on the use of the Large Hadron Collider to search for particles with long lifetimes.^[1]
