Hari Patriot (nama rasmi: Patriots' Day di negeri Massachusetts[1] and Patriot's Day di negeri Maine[2]) merupakan cuti umum yang memperingati ulang tahun Pertempuran Lexington dan Concord, iaitu pertempuran-pertempuran terawal dalam Perang Revolusi Amerika. Ia disambut pada hari Isnin ketiga pada bulan April di Massachusetts[3] dan Maine[4] (yang pernah menganggotai Massachusetts), dan juga cuti umum sekolah awam di Wisconsin.[5] Hari ini disambut dengan keraian dan pembuatan semula pertempuran-pertempuran berkenaan setiap tahun di Lexington Green di Lexington, Massachusetts, (sekitar 6:00 pagi) dan Old North Bridge di Concord, Massachusetts, (sekitar 9:00 pagi). Pada waktu pagi, kumpulan pelakon berkuda dengan iringan polis negeri menjejak kembali pengembaraan Paul Revere dan William Dawes menjeritkan amaran sepanjang jalan.
