Patrick Birocheau (born 23 September 1955) is a French former table tennis player. He won a bronze medal at the 1981 World Championships in doubles, as well as several medals at the European Championships throughout the 1980s.[1]

He represented his country at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. In the singles competition, Birocheau was eliminated in the group phase after winning three of his seven matches.[2] He teamed up with future World Champion Jean-Philippe Gatien in the doubles competition, but they were similarly eliminated after winning four of their seven matches.[3]

In addition to his international success, Birocheau won eleven gold medals at the French National Championships: one in singles (1976), nine in doubles (1973–76, 1978, 1979, 1982, 1987, 1988), and one in mixed doubles (1983).

He later served as head coach of the French national team.[4]
