Patrick Barrie

Patrick Barrie is a British tiddlywinks player. He has won eleven World Singles matches, most recently in March 2025 by defeating defending champion Matthew Rose. He has won eight World Pairs matches, but lost the World Pairs title in April 2022 to Larry Kahn and Jon Mapley.
Barrie started playing tiddlywinks in 1984 as an undergraduate at Cambridge University, where he is a senior lecturer in chemical engineering.
He has a long rivalry with American player Larry Kahn, with the Los Angeles Times describing them as "the Nadal and Djokovic of their game". The pair have played 11 World Singles matches, with Barrie winning three, and eight World Pairs matches with four wins apiece.
He has also won the English Tiddlywinks Association Singles twelve times and the ETwA Pairs nine times. His tiddlywinks exploits have seen him sponsored by a whisky distillery, with his image appearing on some of their bottles.
