Patrick Kujala (born 15 May 1996) is a Spanish-born Finnish professional racing driver.
Kujala started his career at the age of four as he drove his first laps behind the steering wheel of a karting car, after which he competed in various Spanish karting series from 2005 to 2009.
At the age of nine, he won the Andalucian Karting Championship series in the Alevin category, and at the age of ten, he won the title in Cadet category.
In 2007, Kujala finished ninth in the Cadet class of Spanish karting, and in 2009 he finished 6th fastest in the KF3-class.

That same year, he finished third in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World finals with Richard Antinucci. Kujala also competed in one round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge and in two rounds in British GT, again with Barwell Motorsport in a Lamborghini Huracan GT3.
In 2018, Kujala won the 24 Hours of Spa in the Am class alongside teammates Richard Abra, Adrian Amstutz and Leonid Matchinski. He also competed in eight rounds of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo European Championship and one British GT event that year.

In 2020, he won the Silver Cup title of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Barwell Motorsport alongside Alex MacDowall and Frederik Schandorff. He also finished second in that year's British GT Championship alongside Sam de Haan, driving for Ram Racing.
