Patrick Ebert (born 17 March 1987) is a German former professional footballer who played as a winger.

Hertha
Born in Potsdam, East Germany, Ebert started playing football for TuS Gaarden in Kiel at the age of four. He completed his development with Hertha BSC, joining the Berlin-based club in 1998.

Ebert made his official debut with the first team on 16 July 2006, coming on as an 81st-minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against FC Moscow in that year's UEFA Intertoto Cup. He first appeared in the Bundesliga on 13 August, again coming from the bench in the 0–0 draw at VfL Wolfsburg, and scored his first goal in the competition the following matchday when he opened a 4–0 home rout of Hannover 96.

Ebert contributed 16 games and one goal in the 2009–10 season, as the Blue-Whites were ultimately relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. On 6 June 2012, he was released along with Christian Lell, Andre Mijatović and Andreas Ottl.

Valladolid

Ebert netted six times in his first year with the Castile and León side – including twice in the 3–1 home victory against Mallorca – being first choice in a final escape from relegation.

Spartak Moscow
On 7 February 2014, Ebert was released from his contract with Valladolid, after having already announced the decision to wanting to leave the club and having subjected to disciplinary procedures after refusing to play against Villarreal. Later that day, he signed with Spartak Moscow of the Russian Premier League.

Rayo Vallecano
Ebert returned to Spain on 25 July 2015, joining Rayo Vallecano on a two-year contract. He missed the vast majority of his debut season due to an achilles tendon rupture.
