Patrick William Trimby (born 31 January 1972) is an English former first-class cricketer.

Trimby was born at Shrewsbury in January 1972. He was educated at Shrewsbury School, before going up to Worcester College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Northamptonshire at Oxford in 1993. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1994, making a total of eleven first-class appearances.[2] Playing as a leg break bowler, he took 31 wickets at an average of 35.16, with best figures of 5 for 84.[3] These figures, which was his only first-class five wicket haul, came against Durham in 1994.[4] He also made two first-class appearances for the Combined Universities cricket team while at Oxford, playing against the touring New Zealanders in 1994, and the touring West Indians in 1995.[2] Against the New Zealanders, he took 7 wickets in the match, placing him above the entire England attack, bar Phillip DeFreitas, in the Third Test between England v New Zealand at Old Trafford.[5] In addition to playing first-class cricket, Trimby also played minor counties cricket for Shropshire between 1992–95, making five appearances in the Minor Counties Championship and a single appearance in the MCCA Knockout Trophy.[6][7]
