Patricia Dench (born 8 March 1932) is an Australian sports shooter. She won the bronze medal in the 25 m pistol in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.[1][2][3]
Dench is regarded as Australia's first Olympic medallist in shooting. Previously Donald Mackintosh was considered the first, for his gold and bronze medals in pigeon shooting at the 1900 Paris Olympics. However, the IOC has since ruled that Mackintosh's events were non-Olympic.[4]
