Patricia "Pat" Crowley (b. 17 September 1929, Olyphant, Pennsylvania) is an American film, soap opera and television actress.
Aside from being a character actress or leading lady on nighttime 1950s series such as Maverick, Crowley is perhaps best known for her roles on soap operas, such as Generations from 1989 to 1990, and Port Charles from 1997 to 2003.
In addition, she starred with the comedy team of Martin and Lewis in the 3-D film Money from Home in 1953. She starred as Joan Nash in the 1965 sitcom, Please Don't Eat the Daisies. She was a murder victim in an episode of Columbo. The actress appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2005 for a limited run as Natalie DeWitt. Most recently, Crowley made a one episode appearance on The Closer in 2006.
Crowley was often confused with her equally glamorous acting contemporary Kathleen Crowley, who appeared as guest leading lady in different episodes of most of the same television series and was not related.
Crowley has been billed as Pat or Patricia interchangeably throughout her career; during her three appearances on Maverick, for example, she rotated back and forth, billed as "Patricia Crowley" for the episode "The Rivals" with James Garner and Roger Moore, and as "Pat Crowley" for an installment called "Betrayal" with Jack Kelly.
