Sir James Brown Patterson, KCMG (18 November 1833 - 30 October 1895), Australian colonial politician, was the 17th Premier of Victoria. Patterson was born in Alnwick, Northumberland, and emigrated to Victoria in 1852 to seek his fortune on the goldfields. After a few years as a digger and four as a farmer, he settled in Chewton, where he went into business as a butcher, later moving into real estate.
