Pat Morris Neff (26 November 1871–20 January 1952) was governor of Texas from 1921 to 1925. He had previously served in the Texas House of Representatives, including a term as Speaker. He received his bachelor's degree from Baylor University in Waco and his law degree from the University of Texas at Austin.

A conservative Democrat, Neff served on the Texas Railroad Commission. He resigned the post in 1932 to accept the presidency of Baylor. Governor Ross Sterling appointed Ernest O. Thompson of Amarillo to succeed Neff. Thompson served on the panel for thirty-two years and developed a reputation as an expert on petroleum issues.

Neff's mother would later donate land which would become the first state park in Texas, Mother Neff State Park.

Pat Neff Elementary School in Houston is named for him. There's also the Pat Neff Middle School, that belongs to San Antonio's Northside Independent School District.
