Patrick Cowley was an American disco and hi-NRG composer, recording artist, and synthesizer musician best known for his collaborations with singer Sylvester. Born in Buffalo, New York, he became associated with San Francisco's dance-music world and helped shape the electronic sound of disco through synthesizer-led productions.

Cowley worked with Sylvester on recordings that brought his electronic arrangements to a wide club audience. His own work included the dance-floor staple “Megatron Man,” while his production credits also include Paul Parker’s “Right on Target” and Sylvester’s “Do You Wanna Funk.”

Cowley died on November 12, 1982, aged 32.
