Patna Pirates (PTP) is a kabaddi team based in Patna, Bihar that plays in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team is led by and coached by Ram Mehar Singh. Their home ground is Patliputra Sports Complex, Patna .[1] The Pirates are the most successful team in PKL history with a record of winning 3 out of 7 titles and winning all of them in successive seasons.

The Pirates won their first title by defeating defending champions U Mumba in 2016 (January), after reaching the semi finals in the previous two seasons (2014 and 2015). In the following 2016 (June) season, Patna Pirates defeated the Jaipur Pink Panthers, thus becoming the first team in PKL history to successfully defend their title and later completed a hat-trick of titles by defeating Gujarat Fortune Giants in the final of the 2017 tournament. The 2018-19 season was a contrasting season for the usually successful Patna Pirates, as the 3 time defending champions crashed out in the group stages, thus failing to make the playoffs for the first time ever. Patna is also the first team to play 100 Pro Kabaddi matches.
