Patrick Côté (born June 2, 1985, in Grand Falls, New Brunswick) is a Canadian biathlete.

Côté's first race was in winter 2000.[citation needed] In 2001, Côté qualified for the 2001 National Cadet Biathlon Championships.[1]

In 2002, after participating in the Canadian Biathlon Championships, he moved to Quebec City to join the 2010 training squad, Biathlon Canada Identification Program.[1] Côté is now[when?] a member of the Canadian National Team for men's biathlon.[citation needed]

His career highlights include finishing 11th in the men's 10 km sprint at the IBU cup in Martell-Val Martello, Italy, on Friday December 19, 2008.[citation needed]

At the 2008–2009 Biathlon World Cup, Côté finished 64th, a career highlight that includes four World Cup starts and an Olympic criteria performance.[citation needed] However, Côté failed to qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics and decided in 2011 that he would retire in 2012. After his retirement, he competed in marathons and taught in Calgary.[1]
