Patrick Jesse Beach (born December 28, 1959 in Grants Pass, Oregon) is a former professional American football tight end in the National Football League (NFL) for eleven seasons for the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles, and Phoenix Cardinals.

Beach graduated from Pullman High School and played college football in town at Washington State University; he led the Cougars to the Holiday Bowl in 1981 and was selected by the Colts in the sixth round of the 1982 NFL Draft.[1][2][3][4]

In his second NFL season in 1983, Beach scored the Baltimore Colts' last touchdown in a 20–10 win over the Houston Oilers on December 18, a twelve-yard completion from Mike Pagel with less than two minutes remaining.[5][6] The franchise relocated to Indianapolis prior to the 1984 season.

Following the 1987 season, Beach caught a two-yard touchdown pass in the Colts' divisional playoff game against the Cleveland Browns, a 38–21 loss.[7] In his career, he totaled 163 catches for 1,558 yards, averaging 9.6 yards per catch, and caught 14 touchdowns.

He married high school friend Robyn Crawford in 2007.
