Pat Cougevan (born July 13, 1971) is a lacrosse player for the Rochester Knighthawks in the National Lacrosse League. In 2007, he was named the team's "Comeback Player of the Year" after suffering a season-ending injury in the 2006 season.

Cougevan was an All-American lacrosse player at Penn Yan High School in his native Penn Yan, New York.

Cougevan played college lacrosse at Syracuse, helping them win the 1993 NCAA tournament as a senior. After graduation, he was an assistant coach at Colgate for a year before accepting a job as a legislative aide for state Senator Randy Kuhl. Cougevan played in recreational lacrosse leagues until he joined the newly-formed Rochester Knighthawks of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League in 1995. He played in just seven games in his first five seasons, but became a regular member of the rotation during the 2002 season.

Cougevan was inducted into the Rochester Knighthawks Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2012.

Cougevan has a master's degree in Business Administration from Alfred University and is married.
